Update...

What a morning my poor little boy has had already! He continues to throw up but now it looks more bloody. They say that is common with all the 'wreching' he is doing. He is so uncomfortable and just miserable. He hasn't slept or rested much at all since yesterday afternoon. He has no control of his bowels anymore either!! We all feel so awful for him and just helpless. Our favorite pediatrician, Dr. Cathy Davis, was in to see him today. She is so awesome and just makes us feel so much better! She has a call into Children's Hospital GI specialists to see if we are missing anything else. They are going to start nutrition through his IV today because he hasn't had any food since Friday night. We were thankful they can do that down here in Mankato or we would've had to move him! He has had his blood drawn already and will get poked again sometime today. The nurse assistant this morning has been fabulous. She has helped me get him up, cleaned up and in the tub. I could never be a nurse EVER!! I couldn't do this every day! The smells are just horrific. We have his door open today to air out his room. Poor buddy!! He is finally resting some now. It is a waiting game and it seems that it took a turn for the worse. We are thankful that we know everyone here and they are familiar with Braeden. We feel we are in the best place right now. We are just trying to decide when Nick should go back to work. The life decisions we have made lately just aren't making sense at the moment!!
