Riley's back in the hospital

Just a quick note since my connectivity is flaky. Riley has been sick for about a week complaining of stomach pain and dizziness. He had an abdominal ultrasound and an albumin test and everything came up normal. But yesterday Suzanne noticed his left eye was droopy. His after-school provider called in the afternoon to say she'd noticed it and Riley needed to lie down.

We called the doctor and cardiologist and they asked that we bring him in. Since Riley has a history of blood clots, there is concern. By the time we got him to the doctor, the droopiness had stopped. They did a CT scan and things look okay. But as a precautionary measure, they transported him by ambulance and admitted him to the PICU at Kaiser Santa Clara. The plan now is to get him in for an MRI. Of course, that will require sedation since he'd need to hold perfectly still for an hour. He has been NPO since 2 a.m. while we await availability from the MRI lab. I spent the night with him in his room and Suzanne took Carter home.

Best case: we get in for an MRI today, things look fine and we can go home. That's what we're hoping for. Suzanne is here now, Carter is at daycare. More updates when we have them.
