Oh man what a day!

This morning I was a nervous wreck.  Tucker woke up at 6:45 and to my surprise he had blood in his diaper.  So, I immediately called the pediatrician (who was not as frantic as I was) and asked what to do.  He advised me to make an appointment for today, I told him I'd be there when they opened.  

I dropped Carter off at school, then headed to Wal-Mart to get a few things since I still had plenty of time before the pediatricians office opened.  I had called back after talking to the doctor and left a message for the nurse to call me for an appointment a.s.a.p.  She called at 8:20 and I explained our problem.  She scheduled us an appointment for 11:15.  I was relieved we were seeing the doctor that I really like, and that we would get to the bottom of this problem.  

After waiting for over an hour, the doctor came in and after a brief examination diagnosed our sweet little Tucker bear with salmonella.  Yes, you read that correctly... salmonella.  I was floored.  Unfortunately we can't do anything about it until we send a culture to the lab.  We should hear back by Monday or Tuesday of next week.  In the mean time I have to keep him hydrated, and watch for fever.  Poor little guy.  He acts fine, he's playing and laughing but I know his little tummy has to be hurting.  Please keep him in your prayers, and pray that this all passes soon!
