I sit here with Ashtin in the hospital while he sleeps and just cry... We were here yesterday and back today. They have been able to thankfully rule out any type of blood issues, leukemia, and growths in his head, but yet we still don't have a great answer. We do know that he is anemic and low iron, his white blood cell count remains low to show his low tolerance to fight off viruses and sickness, and the low sugars. So, the headaches still have no direct answer or fix. We are here today because of a rough night and they said he seemed dehydrated so he got fluids with a "migraine cocktail." Yes, that is their name for it! They have run a few more tests today to check a few things that have slipped through the cracks, but no results yet. He had a breakdown at home this morning when I said the doctor said go back, but we discussed that we shouldn't need more blood tests due to how many have been done recently and he calmed down. I said we were going to focus on his head and he was happy to hear that. So what do they do when we get here, give him an IV. He got pretty mean with everyone and kept saying just fix my headaches and you don't need any more of my blood.... Poor kid. They during the first 5 min he sat up and said he couldn't breathe.... They came in and he had a reaction to how cold it was and it made his arm twitch and it scared him.. Now he is sleeping like an angel, and before he fell asleep he asked me to promise they would figure it out this time.... So I sit here and cry while he sleeps. I am so thankful that we have not found anything serious so far and a lot has been ruled out, and I can only imagine how those parents feel who spend more time in here with sick kiddos... But seeing you baby so upset and crying is so tough. I'm praying that everything looks good on tests today, yet also that we get answers soon and that my baby feels back to himself with no more headaches..... Here is a pic of him sleeping.
