A Rollercoaster Ride

The last couple of days have been pretty eventful! Sunday night I was on my way home from the hospital and my car starts to overheat, anyone who knows our Jeep is probably laughing right now. Everything on it has been replaced, and it breaks down on a monthly basis. I guess you could say we bought a lemon because it's only about 6 years old! Anyway, I sat on Foothill Blvd for an hour waiting for a tow truck and for Cameron to come and get me. Luckily the part that needed to be fixed was under warranty so we dodged a bullet! So, Monday comes and I go to the hospital Monday night with my Mom. Dillon had a great week and he had been tolerating his feedings well, and everything seemed to be great. They were even talking about letting us bring Dillon home. We go into his room and the cute nurse looks at me with a distessed look on her face. My stomach immediately dropped and she proceeds to tell they think his infection has come back. I start to cry and the nurse starts to cry because she knows how bad I wanted to bring Dillon home. They were running a bunch of tests and getting x-rays of his belly again. We sat there and waited for the results to come back and sure enough his x-rays showed a little bit of inflammation and free air in the lower right intestine. I was so discouraged and frustrated thinking that we would have to start this whole process all over again with the no eating and 10 days of antibiotics. I called Cameron and he came up with my Dad to give him a blessing. He gave the most amazing blessing I have ever heard. I immediately felt better about it. I stayed at the hospital and held Dillon until about 11:30, then went home to try and get some sleep. 3:30 AM comes and Cameron is waking me up to tell me he is in excrutiating pain and needs to go to the emergency room. He heads to Alta View and they find 2 kidney stones that are trying to pass at the same time!! He comes home around 7:00 and goes straight to bed. I get up and call the nurse and she tells me that Dillon had a great night and they were waiting on results from his last batch of x-rays. I jump in the car and head up to the hospital. The nurse practitioner comes to tell me that his last x-rays showed no signs of free air or inflammation and that all of his blood work came back normal, and that they think it must be just gas and stool trying to pass through. I couldn't believe it! I believe we had a small miracle happen. So, now they are only leaving him on antibiotics for one more day as a precaution and they are going to start feeds again in the next day or two! Whew! It has been a crazy mix of emotions the last couple of days! Great news mixed in with some bad news, but we are hopeful it will continue to be good news from here on out! Oh, and Cameron is still sick and trying to pass his stones. Hopefully he will feel better soon!
