Hospitalized

Hi everyone, thank you for you resposes to my son throwing up.  My worst fear came thru.  I picked Isaiah up from the baby sitter and normally I make five bottles and he usually drinks four.  This particular day I picked him up and he only drang half of one ( red flag went up).  He was playing and cooing but every once in a while he would make a faint grunting sound.  Anyway we went home I tried feeding him he drank only an ounce.  I gave him his medicine which he takes very well and we both fell asleep.  At about 10pm I woke up and felt him he was warm I took his temp. and it was 103 panic set in. I call his endo and he told me to double up but I didn’t feel comfortable so I called 911.  While waiting for ambulance he started getting legargic I was scared out of my wits end.  I started panicing at that point. I have the stress shot but as I was going to give it the ambulance arrived and I told them to give it which helped.  By the time we got to the hospital his fever shot up to 106.  Anyway they ran test and turns out he had a virus. 

Now the ambulance took him to the closest hospital.  I live in a different borough than the hospital his endo is affiliated with.  Now this hospital I did not  like at all although the helped pull him back they were unsure how to fully treat him and when getting his blood they were rough I was continuously arguing with the doctors which by the way were residence. One doctor I literally had to threaten her I told her if she does not get away from my son I’m going to kick her a--. She was poking him like he was a piece of meet.  To top it all off they had the nerve to tell his endo that she does not need to call them because they have everything under control.  Mind you she did not tell me this her collegue told me.  The funny thing is when I spoke to her she sounded a little off and she told me to call her with updates. I did wonder why I had to call her but I was so stressed I didn’t give it much thought. Needless to say I let the doctors have it because they were lying and telling me they were speaking to his endo.  Finally I had it after 2 days I call his endo and told her come get my son. So I had him transfered to her hospital and the strangest thing in the first hospital he had high blood pressure but when he got to the other hospital it was ok.  Turns out he had a virus like I said but his endo could not find out where or why because the test the first hospital took were all contaminated.  They were giving him antibiotics though so it was hard for his endo to pin point cause. 

Isaiah is fine now he spend about 1 week and 3 days in the hospital.  I was  scared and very stressed out, but with prayer thank god it all worked out.
