I was so looking forward to this weekend of celebrating X's first Father's Day. But, it didn't go as planned. Saturday afternoon X treated me to a couple hours of shopping with my sister who came in town. When I got back home I could tell he wasn't doing too good. It's wasn't too long before X was throwing up every hour and in so much pain that we had to make a trip to the ER. I've never known X to even take one ibuprofen, so I could tell it was serious.
That resulted in his being admitted to the hospital. They ran several tests, in which they couldn't find anything wrong with him. Eventually the pain subsided and X was ready to go home. The doctor was supposed to come in at 7:00 am this morning to discharge him. Well, it wasn't until 5:30 pm that we finally made it home. Poor X was stuck in the hospital by himself, starving, not allowed to eat, and bored out of his mind just waiting for this doctor to show up.
My mom was good enough to stay the night at home and watch Graydon so that I could spend the night with X. He was barely over 2 weeks old and he already spent a night away from mommy and daddy! Sad!
So, needless to say, we had a Crappy Father's Day, not a Happy Father's Day. But all is well and back to normal now! It ended up being some viral stomach bug. Yuck! Better luck next year.

That IS a CRAPPY Father's Day. We had a crappy one too ... detailed with pictures ... that I'll post when my dad gets back to Texas with my camera. Sorry X!! Glad he's better!!!
Oh no! That is TERRIBLE. I am so sorry to hear that. I just replied to your email and asked how your day went...now I know. I am glad that X is better but so sorry he had to spend the day in the ER. Next year will definitely be better because by then Graydon will REALLY know how cool his dad is!
How crummy! Sorry Em.
