Bad News Updates

#1: I called the hospital in Virginia. NOT HAPPENING. It is basically institutional care. Parents are only allowed on campus during visiting hours after 4pm. Nope. Not happening. I am very curious why insurance would approve an INPATIENT hospital stay versus an OUTPATIENT program??? BOTH are out of state, so it makes no sense. My dad says it's about funding for institutions. He may be right, and if so- this country is still in the backwoods, which is NOT ok.

#2: Haven't heard back from the vet, yet.

#3: I took Ethan to the doctor today because he is still having tummy issues and he won't eat much beyond a little bit of oatmeal. And, he is not drinking like he should. He is not dehydrated, thank goodness, but he has lost 2 pounds in the last week. He is so tiny and doesn't have any fat to lose, so 2 pounds is huge. He did drink a boost earlier and a milk- which the doctor said was ok if that was the only thing that he will drink. His poor tummy is so bloated and gurgly. I am supposed to get a "sample" to make sure he doesn't have something else going on in his tummy. That should be fun. (sarcasm, yes)
