Home

And we’re home, with no one the wiser as to why Isaac was such a sad baby. There is no evidence of a hernia, so they’re thinking that it could possibly have been a intussusception of his bowel.

An ultrasound was inconclusive either way, they didn’t see an intussusception, but neither could they rule it out. However Isaac is like a different baby this morning. We’ve not had any episodes of screaming today and he looks happy, if a little tired. They are concluding that it’s possible it self-cured overnight, or that it was something else entirely and we might never know.

We’re all a little tired.

We’ve been given strict instructions to head to the hospital immediately if it happens again. I’m not sure I have the emotional reserves left to deal with any more screaming, so we’ll just cross our fingers that he is better.

    Glad to hear he’s doing better, I hope it stays that way. There’s nothing quite like a child screaming out like that – it is terrifying and tiring. Fingers crossed.

    Phew, glad to hear he’s feeling better! It’s probably better to ask MsOrdinairee (link on my blog roll) as she has little ‘uns but I’m sure I remember reading about increased incidence of hernia/gut problems in EDS babes. Is it mentioned in that article I sent you?
    Hope it’s a one off and he’s all better now, love to you all BG x x x

    Goodness how utterly stressful for you all when you are already stressed. Will send email to tell you of ‘bowel’ related stuff to do with my EDS eldest when she was little. May take a little while though hun as have torticollis. Thinking of you.

    What? You don’t have enough stress in your life? I hope you all get some rest and that he never, never has it happen again.

    Geez … So glad to hear Isaac seems OK now, but my God, so sorry for all you’ve been through in the past week. Just hoping it gets a little brighter soon.

    Glad you’re home and things are better. Nasty thing to have to deal with.

    So glad to hear you’re home and all is, relatively, well. It’s a worrying sign when a mum has to take over because it’s all gone pear shaped (this does not mean your mum isn’t lovely, I’m sure she is!)

    Oh honey! That is so scary. I’m glad it “appears” to have fixed itself. Whatever “it” was.

    Crossing fingers that it doesn’t happen again.
