Please send some good thoughts my way :(

Prayers on the way!! I know how miserable this sort of thing can be, mom was in the hospital for something similar a while back. But I saw first hand the power of prayer and positive thinking!

*Hugs* to you and your boyfriends brother!

Thanks so much for your kind words and thoughts, everyone. After a horrible experience at the second hospital he was sent to (no nurse or doctor showed up the entire five hours we were there) we ended up just taking him home. The problem is basically severe intestinal blockage and twisting of the small intestine. Extremely uncomfortable, but it should work itself out in the next day or so. We were getting scared there for a while, but I think it was just a freak thing caused by bad diet and stress. I think everything's going to be fine, but if not we will take him back to a DIFFERENT hospital. Anyway thanks so much to everyone who was thinking about us yesterday. It really means a lot to me.

I am so glad to hear it is nothing too serious.

I wonder however about that second hospital: a co-worker of mine had an intestinal obstruction last year and she needed emergency surgery. I wonder how they could know if something like that didn't happen to Kyle

All the best for you and your family!

Thanks, Barbara. The CAT scan showed what they 'believed' to be an obstruction, but since the surgeon never showed up to evaluate him, and Kyle started feeling a lot better, and things started moving again for him , his parents decided he'd be more comfortable at home. I hate hospitals!
