I had a hunch when Isaac was going on 5 days of constant output that he would need hospitalized. I have been so thankful that aside from surgery and surgery recovery we have not have any overnight hospitalizations due to illness until now. Last weekend (Aug. 18th) we went to the doctor knowing that Isaac would probably need admitted so that we could get him hydrated. He perked up pretty quickly after receiving the IV fluids but the nasty bug that he had hung on for a couple of days. He stayed until Monday when he was able to take in fluids without the IV and keep everything down. After getting some lab work back we learned that he had enterovirus. Unfortunately, we couldn't give him a magical antibiotic to help him but we did have an explanation for his symptoms.
He came home and very slowly got back to his happy self.
Here are some pictures from him playing in the hospital:
You can tell in the beginning photos that he is dehydrated to the last photo where he is over-ly hydrated....but happy!
So thankful to be home again and grateful for all your prayers. We are now on the quest for health as we prepare for his next hospital stay. His next big surgery will happen on Oct. 9th. More details on this to follow.
