Hospital Stay

Benjamin continued to get worse and wasn't keeping anything down. He started sleeping pretty much all the time and was becoming more and more listless. So we took him to the doctor and he admitted him to the hospital to get IV fluids. They ran some more blood work and he was doing ok, but ready for some intervention. The also tested him and he does have RotaVirus. The IV fluids worked so well. Within a couple of hours he started perking up a little. He looked really cute in his hospital gown and pants. Sorry we didn't have the camera, or I would have posted a picture. He also did really good with his IV and for the most part left it alone.

He didn't throw up anymore and today we were able to start giving him some solids. His doctor came to see him this afternoon and said he was doing good enough to go home. I am happy to say he had two pieces of bread, a banana, and some cereal and has kept it all down. He slept a lot today, but was definitely up more than he has been and is smiling and getting that Benjamin personality that we love and missed so much. I'm so happy that he is finally feeling better. Yea! Here's some silly pictures we took tonight so you can see how much he's improved!

Enjoying some cereal! The bandaid on his hand is where is IV was.


Cheese!!!!!!!!


There's no stopping him now............Benjamin is back!!!!!!!!!!!
