Happy LOVE day!!!


My poor little Valentine was the sickest I have EVER seen anyone. It was so scary. He went up and slept at his mom's house because we didn't want to chance getting London sick. The next morning I get a call around eight and Blair said she was taking Clay to the E.R. because he had been throwing up all night, and shaking uncontrollably for the past two hours. So I rushed over to the hospital and when I walked in he looked awful. He was twitching and looked so pale. The doctor guessed it was a virus and that he had been hit extremely hard!!! So they gave him two bags of fluid to get him to stop shaking and re-hydrated. Then the doctor was listening to his chest and tummy like they always do...I always wondered if they really listen when they do that of if it's just routine. l I could tell by the look on his face that something wasn't quite right. He listened over and over and then told us that he was hearing a swishing of blood in his tummy. Which to him sounded like a pinched artery. He said it is something that we didn't have to have looked at today, but recommended that we did have it looked at at some point because if it is a an artery leading to his kidney, liver, etc it could be blocking blood supply to those area and could cause a big problem. So...of course we're not going to leave the hospital knowing that there could be a major problem that we didn't have looked at. So he ordered the C.T. scan and we wheeled him down. A while later he came in and said the radiologist didn't see anything??? So he said maybe it was just the position he was in it was pinching... he was laying down, how was it pinching?? We were ready to leave and the Doctor came back in and said that he reviewed the x-ray again and saw a slight narrowing in one the arteries but that it was not a huge concern because Clay is a young, healthy, non-smoker so that was a relief, but at the same time we were wondering if it is something we're going to have to worry about in the future. Sure hope not, that was scary news to hear. Well Clay headed to his mom's again and London and I visited him, but it lasted 4-5 days. The night after we went to the E.R. his symptoms of shaking and throwing up persisted and we almost went back in. He had six huge down-comforters on him and was shivering and shaking so hard. Luckily I was able to talk to the ER doctor and he asks some questions and was able to calm Clay and my nerves. Good thing for good doctors!!!! So glad Clay is feeling better!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY BABE!!!! (next year will be better :)
