So sad...

So the bad luck of our Florida trip decided to follow us home and attack Quin as well... First it started off with a stomach virus - he had diarrhea so bad for 2 weeks that it ate his butt raw! I would just let him sit in the kitchen sink in an oatmeal bath and watch Thomas. He didn't want to move! He also stopped eating. We ended up taking him in to the doctor where had had to have blood drawn - mommy had to leave the room while daddy held him :( Thankfully though he was hydrated enough that we didn't have to admit him. But once we got him home it took a turn for the worse - he started to throw up! Then the next day he started coming down with a cold - and he got pink eye! Talk about helpless! After we got a prescription called in and got the pink eye under control he started getting a little better. He finally started to eat again and slowly was on the path to recovery. But it doesn't end there... He's finally over the stomach bug thankfully - and his pink eye is all gone, and his cold didn't get to bad. BUT, last week he kept coming up to me with his hand held out and whining. Looking at his thumb I though oh gross - he's double jointed in his bottom knuckle - didn't think any more of it. But this weekend it kept bothering him and upon further inspection we noticed that his top knuckle was bent - and we couldn't straighten it! I was already at my parents so I went ahead and took him into after hours at Tanner Clinic. The doc checked him out and sent us to x-ray. Thankfully nothing was broken, but he couldn't quite figure it out so he was going to refer us to Primaries to a specialist. He was sent home with a splint on his thumb and was told to leave it on until we could see a specialist. Well that night I was re wrapping it after his bath and heard and felt a loud pop! Gross! But it was straight! So I splinted it straight and put him to bed. Well the next day we took it off for a bath. Went to put it back on and it was bent again. The doctor called Monday to check on him and concluded that it is "Trigger Finger" and that it is something that the orthopedic surgeon at tanner could treat with a "simple" surgery! So now we have an appointment on Thursday to see what exactly is going to happen from here. SO, needless to say, we are eager to get this year over with and have our healthy boy back, and break the bad luck streak we've had for the last month! We'll give ya an update as soon as we know whats going to happen. We hope everyone else is well though and are looking forward to seeing everyone over the holidays!
