ER

Cole was complaining of a tummy ache this morning, so while we're potty training, he usually means he has to poop. So he did, and shortly after started crying really hard like he was in pain and ended up throwing up some bile. He didn't eat much last night for dinner and Elias was complaining that he wasn't feeling so hot (he was kinda pale), so Zac got them both some toast. Elias ate his and felt better, but Cole threw his right back up. I waited about 20 minutes or so to see if he wanted a bite of oatmeal, but nope. That came up, too. So, I decided no food for a little while and let him rest on the sofa. He started feeling better, so I had him take a sip of water. Not five minutes later, that came up, too. I called Dr. Y's office, but he was leaving at noon today and was completely booked up, so the nurse told me to call the Urgent Care. I called and told them what was going on, but they said he should go to the ER because it sounded like "gallbladder issues"... Now, Cole is 3, so this is a little strange to assume without seeing him, so I decided to go ahead, get dressed, and head out. We spent the next 2 hours sitting in the waiting room near a small boy who had a gross, wet cough and wasn't wearing a mask nor was he covering his mouth (yay). We were finally discharge after they gave Cole a Zofran and had us make sure he could keep water down, then sent us home. The Zofran worked wonderfully. The rest of the day, Cole watched TV, had some soup and crackers and kept it all down. He did have a few meltdowns with Pedialyte and his water being too cold, but I think his throat was sore from all the puking. Two Lolleez sore throat lollipops later and he was tearing through the house like he had a case of the "zoomies". He was back to his original self by bedtime so I'm hoping he's all better tomorrow.
