The Ups and Downs of Doctors

At the Urgent Care.  Ethan's legs were so tired walking in, he needed to stop and sit down while were were waiting to check him in at the registration desk.  By the time we got to waiting area, he had perked up a bit and wanted to draw.  20 min later... CRASH.  He was out for the next hour.  
 Once we moved into the exam room, he was looking a little more cheery.  Esp after he got the popsicle. They weighed him in at 46lbs 14oz!  That is nearly 11lbs heavier than he was just over a month earlier!!
 Urgent Care decided they didn't like the low white count in his blood and the high protein in his urine.  They ordered a transfer for Ethan to go to the hospital.
 The room had some fun things to do in it. 
 In Ethan's perky moments he enjoyed them.

We left the hospital at about 1:30 in the morning after a rollercoaster of ups and downs as to how they wanted to treat him... his diagnosis being Nephrotic Syndrome most likely brought on by Minimal Change Disease.
