*Sorry, I had to postpone the post about my amazing surprise party–but I promise it’s coming tomorrow!!!*
Josiah and I made a trip to the E.R. this afternoon. He has been complaining of abdominal pain for the last few days that seemed to come and go at random times. For the past two nights he’s woken me up in the middle of the night complaining of terrible pain. I thought it might be constipation, but after monitoring that situation, it didn’t seem to be the cause…
Normally after a nap he would start to bounce back. But today he didn’t… after his nap he was still complaining and refusing to stand up straight. So we decided it was time to go in and make sure it wasn’t something more serious (like appendix). And after 2 hours in the E.R. and an X-ray we discovered… it’s nothing.
It could be a possible slight back up in his colon, or it could be a slight virus.
So, we’re starting a prescription tomorrow for the virus to see if that clears it up.
He didn’t mind the visit at all. In fact he thought the X-ray machine was awesome. And he really liked being rolled down the hallway on the hospital bed. I unfortunately threw out my hips from sitting on the hard waiting room chairs for so long… so I think a call to the chiropractor is in my near future. But I’m at least relieved it wasn’t anything more serious for Josiah.
🙁 Poor kid! I hope he feels better soon.
Aw! He looks like he’s putting on such a brave face, there. I hope he’s feeling better! And you, too!
Glad he’s okay, but frustrating nothing was found. I hate when that happens.
I’m with Kristen, and it happens more than we like. But at least you know you did what you could and got him checked out. We’ll be praying for his speedy recovery!
