On Tuesday, he again slept. He had no fever, and got up to go to the bathroom.
On Wednesday, he wasnt waking up much. I gave him pedialite by spoon throughout the day and was worried he wasnt getting enough. In the evening, his breathing became troubling. I took him to the emergency room. They immediately transferred him to the Intensive Care Unit in a larger hospital. He was in a coma.
There were two major leads on what happened to him. The first was that he swallowed something like anti-freeze. The testing came back negative and was sent to the Mayo clinic to be confirmed. The second was that he was born with a metabolic disorder. The testing for this also came back negative. They did every other test imaginable to him, but with no luck. They dont know what happened to him. The official diagnosis is dehydration. They just cant take the next step back to find what caused the dehydration.
He woke from his coma on Friday. He isnt saying as much as wed like, but more than he was. He is eating and drinking, but still has some issues to be worked through before we can go home. Today he was transferred out of the Intensive Care Unit and into Pediatrics.
Hes definitely going to pull through. We dont know how long it will take. I thank you for your prayers.
