We're going to be pretty incommunicado for a while. Grayson started vomiting Saturday night so we rushed him to the emergency room. Being a holiday weekend, we didn't get to touch base with our family practitiioner until Tuesday, by which point we had both been vomiting and didn't want to go back to the hospital and expose the other kids in pediatrics. Since we'd been planning on a trip to Indianapolis for a more detailed workup, Grayson was transferred down to Saint Vincent Children's hospital Tuesday night. We followed Wednesday. We know that he has bad gastroesophogeal reflux, so basically it hurts him to eat. Today he's getting an MRI and a bone scan. He had a CT done yesterday. His poor little feet and hands are bruised from blood draws and he's being fed through a nasogastric tube. Unfortunately, he's vomiting up some of the high calorie formula if it isn't diluted with pedialyte. The neonatalogist/pediatric geneticist doesn't think that whatever the problem is is fatal, but we don't have a name for it yet.
Still, after almost four days without one, Grayson smiled for us before we had to come back home yesterday and he smiled twice for my mom, who's there until we can get back tomorrow.
