hospital for the night

what i thought was a start to good day turned sour real fast. owen had been doing great this week. i haven't given him pain meds since at least sunday. nick was off monday thru today to stay home with owen. and tomorrow owen was to go back to the surgeon at children's mercy to have the catheter and stitches removed. so this morning, while owen was eating breakfast he started complaining of his belly hurting him. which i asked him if he was trying to poop because that has been whats caused the most pain for him since the surgery. he kinda kept saying it while still eating, but seemed to be able to handle it. i went to get ready for work. nick said he kept complaining so he brought him upstairs to rest on our bed. just then as i was getting out of the shower he began screaming in pain.....shaking, sweating, hysterical crying/screaming. i'd never seen him in so much pain. i gave him the pain med i had and tried calling his surgeons office. we noticed his urine output was low, so we were thinking the tube was blocked and his bladder was full and that was causing the pain. while waiting for a nurse to call me back nick and i started getting ready to take him to the ER. if nick hadn't of stayed so calm i probably really would have lost it. owen continued to scream the whole ride there and in the er until he completely wore himself out and passed out. after tests and x-ray the discovered that his kidney function has worsened, he has bacteria in his urine, he is dehydrated, his bowels are completely backed up, he has lots of air in his stomach, and i think maybe an infection in his stomach. on the good side everything is fine with his surgery things and catheter. so here we are staying the night at children's mercy. it's just me and owen, nick is at home with the other two kiddos. they think the bowel was causing the pain. (for those that don't know...owen has bowel issue already and i do daily enemas to keep it under control, which i have still been doing after his surgery) i just finished going another one on him about ten minutes ago and it was very painful for him :-( and they to do them 2x a day to try to get him unblocked. on the kidney side....they want to keep retesting/watching for the next 24-36hours to determine what to do next. since we were brought to our room minus doing the enema owen seems ok. he doesn't really look or acting like he is sick. he's still got his little man attitude :-) he said some pretty funny things in the er that i'll try to post later with some pics.
