The ER

After the test for the blood work came back, the doctor was not happy with the results and the fact that Riley's condition had not improved over the course of the day. He wanted us to take Riley to the ER. My husband took him there and when given some medicine promptly threw up for the nurse to see. By the time that I got there, they had concluded that it was not a bacterial infection, but wanted to do a CAT scan to see if he had a head injury. His dad remembered that Riley had gotten hit over the head with a metal pole by his sister sometime late last week. I went with Riley to do the CAT scan and by the time that we got back, he seemed a lot better. He was talking, playing, and walking around. He even became interested in coloring pictures and was sitting up. The CAT scan did not reveal anything, and they think that he may have had a stomach infection. We got sent home, yea!

Riley came home and ate some of his roll and the icing from his doughnut. When I asked him if he needed to puke, he said, "I already did that, I'm empty".

Over night he woke up twice, for thirst and a headache, but after an ice pack and some medicine, he slept through the rest of the night. He has not thrown up since he did with the nurse at the hospital.

Hopefully, today he will continue to get better....
