Corb is very sick
The whole story....Monday Corb vomited any time he was awake. Around 6pm with no letting up, thinking maybe he had the tummy flu and was now a bit dehydrated, I decided it was time to get him to the ER for some IV fluids and the IV form of an anti-nausea med. We went home late and he (we) slept almost all day Tuesday with no vomiting. Wednesday and Thursday still no vomiting, (he even seemed to be pepping up a little bit) this whole time he has been very lethargic, no interest, no smiles, whines, moans, screams and then this morning YIPPIE the vomiting started again bad.
So this time I decided maybe I needed to look into it being his Baclofen pump so I called that Dr's nurse and after speaking with many different nurses we all came to the conclusion to just bring Corb back to the ER. Although his pump Dr. didn't think it had anything to do with the vomiting, he wanted the pump turned down by 10% anyway and he was in the cities doing outreach so he couldn't do it. So off to the ER again, they started another IV fluids and gave him more anti-nausea meds. We got the pump turned up and his tummy calmed down, we came right home and I started his tube feeding very slowing trying to keep his tummy a little full, all the time so he don't feel hungry and want to vomit more. And with his tummy calmed down he will then be able to keep down the liquid form of the anti-nausea. Keeping my fingers crossed anyway hoping this works because he's still very lethargic and seems so not Corb, I'm scared out of my mind.

Had to cancel Shriner's
So needless to say poor Corb is sitting on the couch, which is covered in" just in case" towels, watching cartoons, not on the road to therapy :-(
If he feels better by this evening though he does have horse therapy, that I needed to cancel and forgot until last night so that's still an option.
Someday I'm going to run out of tears. UGH!!!

Shriner's childrens hospital
I have added a few pics and videos to dropshots lately, that show how much looser he is. The dose was increased again on Tuesday of this week so I hope that will be enough to make this week go even better.
I also hope this week (therapy vacation) will be a great mental break lol :-)

Crash, boom, bang
Please know Corb is doing amazing!!!
But sadly things seem to keep crashing down around me, it's taking me some time to gather myself back up this time.
I'm getting a much needed break though. On June 22, Corb and I are going to Shriner's children's hospital for 1week of intensive therapy. This will be the first therapy he has had in quite some time. I'm happy they were able to provide this for him but a little disappointed it's only a week. I'm totally taking what I can get though :-)
Be back soon guys I promise.
