15 diapers and counting

I have changed more poopy diapers in one day than I normally would in one month.

Jagger is suffering from severe diarrhea and some vomiting which I think is due to the antibiotics he is getting to treat his pneumonia.
The diarrhea got so bad we had to take him to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon. He only produced urine once a day at this point and his stomach was extremely extended and he was swimming in poop every hour or so ( he did manage to poop all over myself, the nanny and the X-ray table).

As usual we got seen pretty quickly however because his labs all looked normal and according to the blood work not dehydrated yet, they didn't want to admit us because the hospital was full and he was not critical enough. (Omg, the ignorance we have to deal with sometimes). On the other hand they had no idea what to do with his diarrhea and I refused to go home like this. He was not producing urine, I was barely able to feed him and he continued to have major diarrhea. He needed to be on Iv to replenish his fluids. They finally admitted us around midnight and good thing we stayed because it took him about 1 day on continuous Iv to get back to baseline. I also stopped at least one of the two antibiotics which I think was the culprit and things seem to be improving (he had been on antibiotics already for 7.5 days so I am hoping all the bacteria are dead by now). Of course they took stool cultures and checked for rotavirus and clostridium difficile but all came back negative. Thankfully!!

We will likely be here another day or two. Still super exhausted from last weeks hospital stay. Sebastien once again had to come straight to the hospital from his business trip.

This time we were admitted to the general floor. I didn't argue because I knew Sebastien was going to be with us overnight. They are completely overwhelmed with his medicine schedule and 30 some doses he gets per day. Despite being here last week the computer system still had everything wrong and we always end up repeating ourselves fifty times. And even with our medicine schedule nicely typed up and copied for them they still managed to screw up a few things and give the wrong doses.

This is why we carefully consider benefits versus risk every time before we get in our car and drive to the hospital. I have started calling it the death trap because each time we actually get to leave the hospital with him alive is a miracle in itself.
