Quin and the E.R.

Let me just say for the record that watching doctors do painful things to your child is SUPER difficult! Last night Quin started throwing up like crazy...missile style. We called his pediatrician's office and they told us to take him straight to the children's hospital ER. Off we went. Quin has a knack for sending us to the hospital at the wee hours of the night.

Many, many hours later, after enduring IVs, xrays, tubes up the butt, tubes down the throat, and a very upset mom and dad (probably more upset than Quin), they sent him home with a diagnosis of a viral infection. It seems like a lot to put a 20 day old through, but there are all kinds of horrible things that can happen to a baby at that age, so they had to rule them all out.

Whew, parenthood is full of emotionally draining events!
