Worried

Worried about my Little Man.
 This is before he got so bad I got really really worried.
His skin turned gray, then yellow, while he went into uncontrollable big shakes and kept yelling out he was cold... no fever, or actual cold, to explain why he'd feel so.  Meanwhile he not only looked like he'd pass out, he was having seizures back to back.
 Damon was worried too.
Jace, as usual, was in his own little tiggerish world.

After a fruitless doctor visit, and what I described above happening once on a smaller scale, and then the big episode, his daddy gave him a blessing and rushed him to the ER.  After they looked him over, they tested his kidneys and liver.  Oddly, the tests came back fine.  They have no clue, we have no clue.
A virus doesn't fit, for two big reasons.  His vomiting was a progression over the course of several days, instead of normal abrupt onset.  He vomited once one day, the next he vomited several times, but was still holding down most food.  The next day he held down all liquids but no more solids.  The next nothing stayed down.  This created huge problems with his medication that requires food to take.  Other reason, his blood cell counts are completely normal.  He'd have an elevated white cell count if his body were fighting a virus or bacteria off.  WEIRD!

So right now, he's got an IV port so when his dad takes him back they can just give him another one, and we'll go from there.  I just want him better.  He sobbed both yesterday and today over not being able to eat food. :(

WOW, so weird to really have no answers and how cute is Damon to show his little heart so concerned for his big brother, that is so sweet. I am sorry you went through all this and I can only imagine the scare it gave you- it takes me back to Trent and everytime things would go wrong and we were left with no answers. I have you guys in our prayers..
