Wow...it's been a week.
This week is my annual TCEA Convention that Mom and I always go to together. Michael didn't feel good at all all weekend, but we thought that by Monday he would feel a little better so we could go. He wasn't. He woke up Monday not feeling any better, but Daddy assured us that they would be ok and that we should just go. So after much debate on my part, we finally left Monday morning driving to Austin. Daddy did call the pediatrician and she decided to see him that morning.
Mom and I got all the way to Round Rock, just north of Austin and daddy called saying they wanted to admit him to the hospital. UGH! Why the he** did I ever leave??!? So we just kept driving straight to the airport in Austin. We pulled up and mom was throwing out some things out of a bag and putting in some clothes and I ran to catch the flight. I missed one flight, but there was another one about 30 minutes later. I made the mistake of calling to check in while I was in line and the only thing I could hear was screaming. They were trying to put in an IV.
After flying all over Texas, I finally got back to Lubbock and dad was there to meet me.
Michael was (finally not today) severely dehydrated. They thought giving him fluids would help, but it really hasn't, so they know something else is going on. They've run all sorts of tests...flu, RSV, pneumonia, and many many more....which all come back negative. That is a great thing, but he's still not feeling good. So, today we wait. Wait for more blood tests results.
We have been so blessed with phone calls, emails, comments on Facebook...and mostly lots and lots of prayers. We cannot express how much we truly appreciate all of it. Hopefully we will know some answers today.
