Yesterday Caleb was admitted to the hospital for observation. He doesn't seem to be gaining weight fast enough for them or for his impending surgery. So here we are hanging out. I've learned a few things while I've been here:
1. My child is capable of sleeping in a crib all by himself throughout the night.
2. Hot Rod is truly an awesome movie if it can keep me up giggling while I'm sitting in the hospital.
3. Having your child hospitalized is a great way to get out of speaking in church on Sunday.
4. You can take blood out of a vein in the side of a child's head.
5. Caleb does not like #4.

I'm so sorry he's in the hospital. How are you doing? How is the rest of the family? I will pray for you. I know how stressful it is to have a child in the NICU but thankfully we never had a long stay after that.
Oh, no! Sorry to hear that Caleb is in the hospital! I don't even want to imagine the blood from the vein in the head. Too sad!
I hope you don't have to be in there for long. Hang in there!
Oh Megan I am so sorry you are back in the hospital.
Drawing blood from a vein in his head is beyond yucky. Poor guy, poor you!
I don't think I could watch #4. And I'm glad you didn't decide to capture that in a picture. Poor boy! But hopefully all of this can give you some peace of mind & get him chubbed up for surgery.
Boy, the lengths some people go to to get out of speaking in church!
I'm sorry to hear that Caleb is in the hospital. I hope they can get things figured out quickly!
My friend had twins, one with problems, and they had to put an IV in a vein in his head (after blowing out most of the rest of the veins in his little body). I can't even imagine watching that happen. Poor little thing.
Sending some extra little kisses for him from AZ!
You really should try another way than this for #3 next time... :(
I am sorry--I hope Caleb puts on a good show for the doctors! All the best to all of you.
I'll keep that in mind the next time I have to talk in church. I don't know which one is worse. ha ha j/k
OH P.S. I knew about #4. Marshall had an IV in his head when he was in the NICU. It's not fun to look at. I hope you're home now.
I am cringing at #4 and don't blame Caleb. I also find it hilarious that you found out he can sleep all night - maybe you're in for some good sleep now.
Megan please update need to know if you are home or what is going on...
i would not like #4, either! hope things are better now.
