A built-in Toy Option for the low price of an ER visit... updated

I didn't have my camera with me so the best picture I could do was off of my phone, pretty good considering it was dark in there. Kyle loved playing with his IV line and actually only cried for about 15 seconds while it was being put in. He kept trying to hit the nurse with his "club" afterwards though, so I'm pretty sure he harbored some ill-will.

Sunday update: we were told to bring him back in if his symptoms got worse so we ended up back in the ER Saturday night. His rash was worse and he was so incredibly irritable that I had spent the whole day pacing while bouncing him in my arms. He refused to eat any food and wasn't nursing as often as he should. They did another battery of tests and discovered from a chest x-ray that he had fluid on his lungs. It was not severe, there was no other obvious sign, but I am very grateful for his pediatrician, who is a member of our church, who I'm sure listened to inspiration to put him on an antibiotic, even though there was no obvious reason for it. That is what saved him from developing full blown pneumonia. We will be going back in for another checkup tomorrow and hopefully, even though his rash is worse then ever, he will have managed to not lose any weight and we might even see an end in sight .

And just to set the record straight, I really don't have a good attitude about our ER. I hate it actually, but I love my baby so much more then I hate the hospital so in my previous post I was being ruthlessly sarcastic in an attempt to lighten my sour mood over this past month. I am not a saint, this month is driving me nuts and I'm not quite sure how much more I can handle. But I do know the truth in Isaiah 41:10 "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." And even more so the Truth in Hymn 85 How Firm a Foundation vs 5 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply. The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine". Foolish me thought enduring almost a month in the hospital and my baby going through OHS was the climax of my current fiery trial, apparently I have much more dross then I originally thought :).
