We had the opportunity to visit the hospital with Luke for three days again this year. Every year, since his birth, we have made a trip to the hospital. Once for apnea issues, once for testing, and the third time for lethargy (not at all normal for Luke).
On Saturday January 23rd, we went to the local ER. He was really lethargic, he wasn't eating.... he was just acting like a blob. The docs had no idea, so some testing was done. First, blood work (for RSV), a urine sample, and starting fluids. Next a chest x-ray. Then, a cat-scan. Last, and biggest of all, a spinal tap (checking for meningitis). I freaked out at this point. All tests were negative, so we were sent to Sacred Heart so Luke could be "observed". We stayed for three days and were sent home with only one answer. His adnoids are too large so they will be referring him to an ENT. We actually have more questions now than we did before going to the hospital. It was so emotionally draining.
