Sick baby.

**Just catching my thoughts all at once. I'm transfereing this from another site.**

Payton is in the hospital.

He has had non-stop projectile vomiting for three days. He is very dehydrated. He has been screaming non-stop for days too.

The doctors think it may be Pyloric Stenosis which is the thickening of the pyloris which is the valve between the stomach and the small intestines and this is stopping the flow of food into his intestines. Unfortunately this is not considered an "Emergency" so they won't do the Upper GI and Ultrasound until tomorrow (not and emergency?!?!?!? )

It is easily corrected with surgery, but this is a lot to take in. It's very hard to deal with knowing that my poor baby boy is in pain and will be for a while.

They will also be looking at the possibility of very very severe reflux and some sort of bowel obstruction as well.

He's not eating either, so he is in a lot of pain, but he is getting enough fluids and nutrition through his IV.

My husband is finally home (he was out of town all last week) and he is with me, so I'll be OK ...
