Discharged

So, last night his potassium was getting just a little higher than normal, so they took him off the IV potassium and the levels have returned to normal.

They have had to poke him many times to test his potassium through these last few days.



He is holding down food and all his formula. Hopefully he can continue to keep himself well hydrated.

Other than working on hydration and nutrition, hospital stays can become boring very quickly. So, here are some pictures and videos of hospital fun XD.










The tree with legs outside is always kind of creepy lol. 

Azer won a hat from a game he played through the Children's Network TV. The clowns even came by and tried to barter with him using some cold, hard, giant sized cash. 



We just saw the doctor, and he gave the all clear for going home. It will be great to be home tonight. We will be going home with oral antibiotics to finish the course he started Tuesday. The doctor wants Azer to not exert himself too much for a few days to help his body recover. The doctor agreed it was just a combination of vomiting, antibiotics, being out in the heat, and being unable to keep down much formula that caused this to happen.  We really have to push for hydration now more than ever. The doctor we saw has had a running joke with Azer through the years that when Azer is a famous MLB pitcher, there's going to be Mom running onto the field, halting the game to remind him to drink his Gatorade. But, truly, I think Azer can see now the worst than can happen from being dehydrated. 

We are outta here!
