WE ARE HOME!!

We were released from the hospital late last night. We all walked in the door of our house and crashed in the bed. I don't think Blake moved all night.

Final diagnosis? Severe diarrhea, positive for the c-diff bacteria in his intestines which kept his intestines inflamed which probably caused his intestines to collapse on top of each other causing severe abdominal cramping which is called intercusseption? (spelling?) We will just have to watch him this weekend to make sure it isn't still happening.

Monday we will take him to the pediatrition to recheck his stool for the bacteria, if he is still so symptomatic we will put him on a special antibiotic to kill the left over bacteria.

Thank you all for praying for us and for calling, visiting and being such wonderful friends. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends.

Intussusception..It's when the terminal ileum invaginates into the cecum (small bowel slides over another segment). Usually in infants and children its reversible; rotavirus or infection can cause this!!!
