Hi friends.  Unfortunately I don't have an outfit post to share today, as I'm still in the hospital with my son Tyler.  If you read last weeks post, then you already know that Tyler was admitted to Children's Hospital for a bacterial infection.  He was having stomach pains and bowl problems for almost six weeks, and because it took us longer than it should have to figure out what was causing them, he had became anemic and dehydrated, landing him in the hospital.  I was initially told that we would only be admitted for two to three days while he was given an IV, and his first few doses of medicine.  However, after a week of taking his antibiotic, there wasn't much improvement in his condition, so the doctors decided a colonoscopy was needed.  Yesterday, we got the results from the colonoscopy and discovered that the reason he wasn't healing (and how he ended up with the infection in the first place), was because he has ulcerative colitis.  Colitis is an Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) that affects the large intestine, or colon.  There is no cure for colitis, however it is treatable, and can be maintained with the right medicines and diet.  Although no mother ever wants to hear that her child has a chronic condition, there's a bit of relief in finally knowing why he has been so sick, and now we can begin treatment.  Tyler has now been on medicine for the colitis for 24 hours, and is already showing tremendous improvement!  We just need to make sure that his blood count levels are back to normal, and that he can go without being dehydrated when not on an IV before we are released from the hospital.  I have high hopes that we will be home this weekend. 

I've been staying with Tyler at the hospital, and have only been home a couple of times to shower (thank goodness for dry shampoo) and do some laundry.  So lets just say that I haven't been the most fashionable person these past 10 days, or have had time to take blog photos.  I am sharing the outfit that I've basically been living in this past week (below), and  praying that we get home to our own beds this weekend.  I'll be back with outfit posts soon!
