Sick Day Snuggles & More Appointments

Today was Kaleb's 2nd day with his new babysitter. Around 11:30, I got a phone call from her. "Hello?" I said anxiously. (With an allergic kid like mine, you always answer anxiously.) "IFedKalebLunchAndHesThrowingUpEverywhere!!" And yes, it was said just like that...so fast I could barely understand her. She repeated herself and asked all about the food I sent for lunch, wondering if it could be an allergic reaction. I immediately went over, picked up my baby boy, and went to the dr.

This was Kaleb's 3rd day in the last week he has randomly vomited. He hasn't been eating or feeling well the last few days, but I had attributed it to teething. 

At the dr, we learned he has lost yet another pound in the last few weeks. She thinks there is something we are missing, like internal inflammation in his digestive system, which would be causing a lot of his problems. 

He has been referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist and his appointment is next Monday. Most likely, they will want to do a scope to view his digestive system. 

I say all that to ask for continued prayers. Eddie and I are doing all we can for our sweet boy, but it takes a toll after a while on you emotionally and financially, especially when he's not sleeping (so we aren't sleeping). For an example, here's this week's medical expenses:

Today's office co-pay: $25

Prescription to curb nausea: $70

Co-pay on Monday for specialist: $55

We have full faith that God is going to heal our little boy. I don't know why we have to go through all if it, but God says he uses all our trials for His glory. In the meantime, here's the sweet face I get to snuggle with.
