Ethan's Trip to the Hospital

Ethan wasn't feeling well at all, throwing up, not eating, acting way way too sleepy all day.... so I decided to bring him into the ER
Strapped to an xray table. Dr wanted to look at his intestines to make sure they hadn't twisted
Pressure cuff and pulse monitor he had to wear
Exhausted, and clinging onto mom after he had to undergo a spinal tap to rule out meningitis.
They decided to admit him overnight until he could keep fluids down. All cozy in bed. He wouldn't let go of his monkey's ear..
The night nurse was so charmed by our little man that she searched him out a crib aquarium so that he had some music to listen to and something to watch in the dark.
Early next morning, little man is still exhausted
Yay! 2 feedings kept down and lots of wet diapers to show for it! Doc says we get to go home!
Back at home, there is no better feeling that cuddling with mom.
Mom likes it too!
