ACk! . . .

Dustin was admitted to the hospital on Sunday night with vomiting. They thought it was another bowel blockage like we had in October and he was immediately transferred to the new hospital that was just finished.

Turns out after a visit from the GI doc that he has nothing going on in the bowels and after reviewing the films from October, that was likely not an obstruction either. Seems we may be dealing with Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome or possibly something else like a physical issue with his bowel that could be causing this. An upper and lower GI study is in order, but since he just had a CT scan with contrast they cannot do that until the contrast is completely out of his system.

The other issue is that for some reason he is having trouble urinating and they have no idea why. It is all very curious. They have said that we will likely end up in the hospital a couple more times until they get this figured out. So very tiring!

On top of everything else he is not able to get his psych meds and that is compounding to the troubles. I am just at my wits end! Prayers would be appreciated.
