Elias in hospital

On Friday April 25, Elias started having tummy pains. I went to the doctor with him the next day cause he wasn't able to sleep all night and was crying because of so much pain.

According to the doctor it was probably an inflammation of the intestines but when we had to pick him up early from school on Monday, we decided to go back to the doctor's office.

This one sent us to the Emergency Room of the Imelda Hospital. He wrote a note for the reception area so we didn't have to wait and they saw us almost immediately.
The pediatrician on duty scheduled an X-ray and an echo of the intestines (which was really scary because the technician spent so many time checking little details and taking pictures and measurements that we were sure he found something very serious).
But no... they found nothing.

The pediatrician did prefer he stay in the hospital because he was in so much pain (pain medication given by infuse works better for tummy pain) so I stayed in the hospital as well. And the next day/night too.

While in the Hospital, Elias had a great time. Someone came and played games with him, he could watch video's all day, mommy serving him on every whim....

On top of that, he was feeling great, even when they removed the infuse.

Back home however (on Wednesday 30 April) the pains came back (but because of the long weekend we had trouble getting to the same doctors). When he was still suffering on Saturday, I decided to put him again on a very strict diet (as in the hospital) and that did the trick.

I am every day giving him a bit more "normal" food, and he has been fine since then....

He is back to eating regular right now (as far as regular goes with Elias), but still, I'm keeping an eye on him, just in case...

Kids.... nothing but worries :)
