Hospitalization

Okay Bryson, do you really need to test me this way so soon! You came home on Thursday night and on Saturday you were hospitalized. Around 4:00 Saturday afternoon you started vomiting and became very tired. I assumed you had swallowed to much water swimming and were just over tired from everything we had been out doing your first few days home - Evidently I was mistaken.....

At 1:00 am I decided to take you to the hospital and Valerie met us there. By 5:00 am they made the decision to admit you, that your sodium levels were too low and thus the reason for you being incoherent and vomiting. By 7:00 were moved up to the pediatric floor and I was at the end of my rope. You did an amazing job, took everything in stride, and the nurses loved you... I was just way over tired and not sure where to turn next. I had the support of those around me but you will soon learn that your mom is stubborn and not always willing to ask for help when needed.

Luckily, you were discharged Sunday around 7:00 at night and we could go home and attempt to get back in our routine. Starting all over, just four days later was not easy and a huge setback in the progress you were already making. With your personality though you were full swing within 24 hours, back to bouncing off the walls and showing off whenever someone would watch.

Through all of this my love for you continues to grow. We are learning so much about each other and I am learning so much about myself. I love you more today then yesterday...
