Bertrand has a habit of keeping things interesting for medical personnel, and he wasn't about to cut the staff at Cleveland any slack!
The pediatric team was called in. Also not liking Bertrand's breathing, the sound of his lungs and elevated heart rate (165!), the pediatrician and attending neurologist admitted Bertrand to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Chest x-rays have been taken, blood has been drawn, IV fluids have been started (Bertrand has refused to eat or drink since 1pm), and a urine catheter will be started.
He has since had another diaper with a bloody casing. The working theory is that at best Bertrand has a urinary tract infection. At worst Bertrand is developing kidney stones--on the ketogenic diet and on zonegran these are very common. It's not pleasant, but Bertrand is in as good a spirit as could be expected. And, if there were ever a time and place to get sick, while inpatient at the Cleveland Clinic, one of the world's best hospitals, is it!
On the bright side, indeed....the place to get sick.
Ohhh, that's no fun. If he really does have stones I hope they get zapped quickly. (Been there, done that, and never want to do it again.) Hugs to all of you.
oh no! I hope he gets better soon.
