Back in the ER

Last night Christopher had to go back to the emergency room. His head felt like it was going to explode. He was crying and shaking and I had never seen him in that much pain. It was the most crowded ER I had ever seen. We had to wait for hours while he cried in pain. When we finally saw the doctor he said that Chris was leaking spinal fluid. Your brain floats and since Chris did not have enough fluid, his brain was just sitting on and sagging down all the nerves that are under the brain causing excruciating pain. It was caused by the spinal tap he had at the ER the other night. To fix it, they drew blood out of his IV and injected it into his spine causing a clot to put pressure on the hole the fluid was leaking from. It has worked very well. His pain subsided. Unfortunately that causes severe back pains. His throat and back hurt now. We didn't get home until after 5 a.m. It was one tired mother's day. Now I need to try and get some sleep because I have to wake up at 4 a.m. and keep Chris awake until his EEG in the morning. I feel like a zombie. I pray that they can tell me what is happening to my son. He needs the right help and I need some rest. What a long scary weekend!
