Hello to everyone,
Just over one week ago, Kobi became ill. He started vomiting. At first we were not especially worried, just a bit spooked about the timing (almost one year exactly from the big incident last year). By Friday, he was looking awful and we took him to the "step-up" clinic for some intravenous fluids. From there, they suggested a trip to the emergency room. The doctors there seemed to feel that he could be admitted or could go home. We chose home over hospital germs.
By Sunday, Kobi was no better. We went to the local doctor, who sent us to the hospital again. It was clear to us that we would be admitted this time, especially in light of last year's experience. Sure enough, Kobi was admitted for abdominal pain and vomiting. After running blood-work, urinalysis, Barium scans and finally a gastroscopy, we were released to go home. Kobi still needs to have a colonoscopy next week and we are very hopeful that we will find the root of this problem.
To his credit, I must say that Kobi was quite the trooper. He remained cheerful and good-natured the entire time in the hospital.
I have to say that the doctors here are great and they did not take this case lightly. We were treated well the entire time. The fixtures could use some updating.....but that really had no impact on the level of medical care that we received.
I will keep you updated on the results of the tests.
Shabbat Shalom,
Michal
