Ben in Hospital

[lokheed]

This past March Ben caught the virus that was going around, and got very sick for two full weeks.  Three weeks later he got the same thing again.  Since then he has been vomiting more and more frequently, and has become more lethargic.  This past Monday we had a series of blood tests done, and since then he has barely eaten and has been sleeping almost non-stop.  It reached the point that this evening, on doctor's orders, we took Ben to the emergency room.  He is currently admitted to Florida Children's Hospital, and so far he is doing surprisingly well.  He had an ultrasound a few hours ago to look at pretty much everything in his abdomen, and he is probably going to have an endoscopy and a CT scan of his sinus cavities tomorrow morning.  Sara is with him at the hospital now, and I am home briefly to take care of the animals and grab a few hours of sleep.  I'll post more when I know more.
