After a day filled with doctor's office visits, puking in the hall at Stevens Hospital (luckily, I was prepared with our "just in case" bucket), and x-rays (which Marshall loved), it was determined that Marshall has pnemonia in his lower left lung. The diaphragm muscle is working so hard to reinflate that portion of Marshall's lung that it puts pressure on his stomach everytime it's full, thus the vomitting. So that was a blast. Marshall actually had a fairly decent time. Despite a fever and coughing (and puking), the woman at registration at Stevens gave him a bouncy ball. Which he proceeded to "bounce" (read: throw) down the halls at the hospital. Luckily Stevens isn't an incredibly busy place.
But he's feeling much better today as the antibiotics have kicked in. Breakfast is still in his tummy. (Knock on wood.....clearly I have just jinxed myself.) And he is really enjoying his free pass to watch television. :) I tell you, if it's not one thing, it's another with this bunch.
