My sweet Aiden has been sick for awhile. He had a stomach bug on Wednesday, June 25th, but seemed better the next day. I got it on the 28th, then Camryn was sick on the 29th. We thought it was just a bug working its way through the house.
Aiden threw up again on Tuesday the 1st of July, but again, seemed to get better. We packed up and got ready for our mountain vacation. The morning of the 3rd, Camryn and Aiden both got sick again. We went on our trip anyway, both children seemingly better by the time we got to the cabin.
We had an uneventful few days in the mountains, but on the morning of Sunday the 6th, Aiden got sick again. He spent the day in the car as we traveled home, then hit the couch as soon as we walked through the door. He stayed there, but ate a little bit and kept it down.
Then Quinn threw up before bed on Sunday night.
Monday everyone was again better. I thought maybe that was the last of it. I did the kids' laundry and packed them up for a week long stay with my parents.
Tuesday morning, Aiden was sick AGAIN. He decided he still wanted to go to my parents, so we left. We stopped at McDonald's on the way out of town and surprisingly, Aiden wanted an egg and cheese biscuit. He ate it and drank some Coke and kept it down. He ate a little lunch when we met my parents in Atlanta, and said he felt a ltitle better. He was fine on the trip to Birmingham.
I talked to the kids again last night. Aiden was sick again yesterday morning. So far, this has been going on over 2 weeks. I did some Google searches, and it only served to scare me. Cyclic vomiting syndrome and brain tumor are not things a mom wants to read when her son is over 300 miles from home.
The kids will be home on Tuesday. I'm scheduling a doctor appointment for Aiden on Wednesday. Until then, I can only pray that he won't be sick anymore, and that when I do take him to the doctor, it turns out to be nothing more than a lingering virus or something innocent like that.
Will you join me in praying for Aiden? Last night the last thing he said to me was, "Will you pray for me?" in a weak voice. I wanted to reach through the phone and hug him close. I know my parents are taking excellent care of him, but I feel helpless.
