My 6 month old is in the hospital with acute hepatitis of unknown cause. We've been here 2 days and he's stayed the same so far - no improvement, no decline. We have no timeline for when we can go home. I have a hard time not collapsing into tears every moment of the day. My husband and I have no family close so I feel really alone and scared. My son never smiles anymore, he's just so sad and I feel terrible and there's nothing I can do. I'm sorry for being such a downer but I need support and this community is so supportive.

So a little update. One of the hardest parts of our journey so far has been getting blood for all the tests. He has such little veins and so much chub which led to HOURS of him being pricked for each new set of tests. They got a central line in a little while ago and now he doesn't have to get pricked and, bonus, his former IV which was in his hand is now gone so he has use of both hands. Still no health updates, but his quality of life is a little better
-
I am so sorry
You may not have friends or family close but you have the HB community here for you.

@Ms.Badger: I'm so sorry your poor guy is having to fight such a big battle!! I'm so glad to hear that he is at least more comfortable while the doctors and nurses work to make him better!
-
I'm so sorry, that sounds really scary. I hope your little guy improves soon, big hugs
-
I am so sorry to hear about your sweet little one. I am glad they were able to make him a little more comfortable. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Is there anything else we might be able to help with? Perhaps just getting you a list of nearby restaurants that deliver or information about the Ronald McDonald House? I am happy to Google away and get you information.
-
I'm so very sorry. I hope he starts to improve fast and is better in no time.....
