More news on Sean

Sean came home from the hospital Monday evening after having had tons of grueling tests and lots of fluids pumped into him from an IV. Poor kid. He got this blanket and bear from the hospital and he loves them with all of his heart. (It is part of project Linus.) He's feeling a little better, but does not have much of an appetite. And he is sooo tired. all. the. time. He had a follow-up appointment on Tuesday, and they put him back on his medicine that he was on before while we wait to see a specialist at Children's.

I had an appointment set up for him on December 1st. That was the very soonest they had available. After I made the appointment, the P.A. from Sean's regular doctor "returned our phone call" about "not being able to control Sean's vomiting." I was like, um, he's in the E.R. right now. I told her about the appointment we already had set up with Children's and that they wouldn't move it up unless our provider called the doctor there and had a consultation. She told me she would get right on it. Well she is the one Jeremy had the follow-up appointment with the next day. We brought some additional symptoms to her attention, combined with some results from work done at the E.R., and she said she had never done a doctor to doctor consult with Children's before, but that she would call them and call us back that afternoon to let us know. Well she did. She also ordered additional lab work for Sean which we got done today.

We got a call today from Seattle Children's and they have scheduled us an appointment for November 3rd at 8:30am. Next week! Yay! So hopefully we will have some more answers then.

Here is something cute and sad all at the same time: Sean was showing me his owie on his arm (where the IV got put in), and he informed me that he "got it from the owie store." Took me a minute. OH, you mean the hospital! We do pay them quite a bit to give us owies.
