Just a quick update on Grant's condition. After seeing the doctor Friday morning and not finding anything, we waited until Friday night to take further action. By Friday night, his pain was becoming more frequent and intense, so we took him to the emergency room on the advice of our on-call physician. The ER we initially took him to recommended we take him to Riley Hospital for Children.
The doctor's at Riley have run all kinds of tests, done bloodwork, used ultrasound to look at his abdomen, and at this point, they haven't found anything. It's very discomforting to have 10 doctor's from one of the best children's hospitals in the country staring at your 23 month old son, all scratching their heads. But we know they're doing everything they can, and they've been really great to us thus far.
Please say a prayer for Grant. He's in a lot of pain, and he has two parents who couldn't feel more helpless and inexperienced at the moment. He's getting ready for his second night in the hospital, and we're just hopeful the doctors figure something out soon.

Oh, my goodness! I'm assuming you've heard something by now, but I'll still say some prayers for him tonight! And for you both! It's rough to feel so helpless, I'm sure. Thankfully, he has a Father in Heaven that knows what he needs, even when you don't. Trust Him. And send us an update!!
