We're at home now. The drive home was not pleasant. As soon as we left the hospital, Mason started having a lot of pain again and we considered turning around. We were both just very frustrated and felt like the last three days were a waste. We decided to get home and see if he would do any better at home. About 2 miles from home, he threw up twice all over himself in his car seat. We had a freak out moment and then decided to go home first and get him cleaned up before deciding if we should go back to the hospital.
As soon as we got him home and in the bathtub he was his old self again playing and splashing in the water. So, now we're left to wonder if he was just nauseous from the sedation medicine from the CT scan this morning and the car ride home and the heat just made him sick. We're going to assume it was unless it happens again. He has an appointment with his pediatrician in the morning and we're thinking about taking his imaging to an orthopedic specialist in Franklin. He still won't look down and side to side only very carefully. As long as he's not in obvious pain and the fever is gone, we're fine with being patient about his flexibility returning.

I bet that's exactly what it was!! He's been on a lot of meds and I'm sure once he gets back into his routine, the Mason we all love will resurface!
You guys have been on all of our minds and in our hearts! I feel so badly that you had to go through this and look forward to seeing you when ya'll are feeling up to it! HUGS!
I am so sorry- I did not hear until this afternoon. Please know that my prayers have been added to the many already offered. Let me know if you need anything.
Glad you all are home. I know it's still scary not knowing a lot surrounding this situation. Praise the Lord you live in an area with a great children's hospital and lots of specialists. A lot of parents aren't so lucky when something like this happens. I'm praying for Mason right now that he is sleeping peacefully, and that tomorrow is a better day for you all.
