A little scare...

Had ourselves a little scare on Wednesday May 8. Jaydan woke up and threw up... He said he'd tried to burp and it just came so we weren't concerned that he was really sick until he threw up again about 15 minutes later. Dirk saw a small streak of blood in it so I was watching him closely. About 5 minutes after Dirk left, he threw up again on the bathroom floor. This time there was a lot of blood and a large blood clot. I helped him and got everything cleaned up and called the doctor. They had us come in to see the pediatrician {poor kid threw up 4 more times before we could even get up the hill to the office} and she said if he hadn't turned the corner in the next couple hours to call back. He vomited again after taking a nap so I called... They sent us to Children's Hospital ER. By this time he was throwing up all stomach bile.  The ER docs gave him anti nausea meds and slowly rehydrated him. He was back to pretty normal in the next couple hours!

The conclusion was that he'd probably had a nose bleed that went down his throat an irritated his stomach. Scary nonetheless... So happy that's all it probably was.
