an update....

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers regarding my son. Yesterday Ty felt like giving school a shot. He was still weak and draggy but otherwise okay. I took him and talked with is teacher for a bit about his do's and don'ts right now. About 8:30AM Ty's teacher called me and she was worried. Ty had been sitting at his desk doing his work one second and the next second was violently throwing up in the trash can behind him. I picked him up and as his doctors office instructed me to do, we headed for Children's Hospital. After more blood tests and going over and over with me about the vomiting they came to the conclusion that my son has acid reflux which is inflamed because of the pneumonia. They told me to take him off of the Levsin and they wrote me a prescription for Zantac. He was to take 1 tsp thirty minutes before breakfast and another tsp before dinner. This morning was his first dose and it didn't do well at all. Within half an hour after breakfast Ty started having some abdominal pain that got worse in the span of about twenty minutes, once the pain hit it's peak he ran to the bathroom and vomited more violently than he has throughout this entire illness. About twenty to thirty minutes after vomiting his stomach finally quit hurting and his color has come back. I have decided not to get my panties in a wad yet and give it another go at dinner, if we have a repeat of this morning then he will go back to the E.R. at Children's Hospital.

Good reports from yesterday are that his electrolytes are good which means, praise God, he isn't dehydrated at this point and how he isn't I don't know.

Please continue to pray for him.
