Aid had an extremely long night last night. No sleep or semblance there of. As much as Ryan and I tried to tell the nurse Aid was not doing ok her and the residents stuck with the cause of the uncomfies as a high fever. Aid had cultures drawn from every bodily fluid he has to make sure he's not infected....still pending.
Finally around 6 am Aid's belly was so taught you could bounce quarters off of it. He threw up a ton of blood, and after yet more waiting around we finally saw a doctor... 30 minutes later, who moved Aids NG tube back up into his tummy. When they drained the contents we found close to the entire unit of blood he'd just received over night.
Aid's pressure tanked with-in 2 minutes and away the circus went. At least my asking the clerk to page the surgical team produced results. Otherwise we may have never seen them this am!
Right now we are headed down to get a CT of Aid's tummy and try to find the reason for the bleeding and make sure his shunts still open. Unfortunately, any training you have to stay calm in an emergent situation goes straight to hell when it's your own kid bleeding so much and hurting so much. All we can do is think happy thoughts and try to make Aid as comfy as possible. Please keep him in your thoughts today because it's definitely going to be a hard one.
