Holy CRAP!

So, I sat down a week and a half ago to write about Deacons latest adventure and I never finished it because I didnt know it wasnt finished...

Last month, almost exactly a year after he was hospitalized for the flu, he started to get sick again and we had to take him in again.
Within 24hrs he was very sick. He was lethargic and not pooing properly. We rushed him to Abbotsford hospital because thats where his Pedi Dr. Hewes works. As we were sitting in the waiting room he started to vomit. He vomited about 16 times in 4 hrs. They put him on bowel rest and gave him an IV. They also took and gave him an Xray. After that Xray, they said they were unsure but they thought he had a blockage. After 3 days, he was feeling better and the Xrays look good again. They said not a big deal, he just had the flu!

So on Thursday May 20th, he ate Cheerios for breakfast and had a perfectly normal poop. After that things just went downhill. He started to act a little different, not playing with Riley. Wasnt really hungry. At about 12:30 he asked to go to bed. After his 4 hr nap. He started whimpering. Very lethargic and we decided he needed to go in again. I go to the local walk in clinic becasue then I can decide which hospital to go to. If his Pedi is in at Abbotsford, then we go there. If its an Emergency we go to Ridge Meadows. If shes not in and its not an emergency we go straight to Childrens in Vancouver. So I go there and the Doctor there tells me hes totally fine, just ride it out. Whatever. So I ask them to page Dr. Hewes at Abby and I find out shes not working the weekend. Fine. I take him into the parking lot, strap him into his carseat and he starts vomiting everywhere. Hmmmm... this time it was 12 hrs that he started throwing up. Weird. I wait for him to stop, and end up waiting 45 min. When I get to Ridge Meadows he has been puking constantly. It takes the Pedi there 1 1/2hrs to finally IV him. He wouldnt stop asking questions and LISTEN to me! At that point, Deacon was limp in my arms from all the vomiting. I had to hold his neck while he puked. He kept on until he had thrown up 60 times in 2 hrs. The Pedi finally started listening after the Xray. The Xray was horrid. It showed big loops of distended bowel. So they shipped us by ambulance right to Childrens. They at first thought it was Enterocolitis and tried to treat him with Antibiotics on bowel rest for 3 days. We thought it was working and started to feed him. Within 24hrs he was puking again, so they preformed emergency surgery on him on Thursday the 27th. They took all his bowels out and he had a twisted bowel. We finally came home yesterday the 1st of June. Wheph! Thats really all I have to say right now...
