Cliff hanger
As if yesterday weren't bad enough [1], today I come home to find The Younger
offering much sacrafice to the Great Porcelain God, due to stuff he may have
ingested. Wlofie had called Poison Control and while what he ingested
normally wouldn't be a problem, since he was making much offerings to the
Porcelain God and complaining about abdominal pains, it was suggested we head
off to The Emergency Room!
[It was an emergency! I didn't have my camera on me, so I had to make due
with what was available—which was Wlofie's phone] [2] [3]
We arrived just before 8:00 pm, with Spring [4] flying to The Emergency Room
from work. She arrived around 8:30, and shortly thereafter (after yet another
offering to the Great Porcelain God) The Younger, accompanied by Spring, went
into the bowels of the hospital.
At 1:30 am (yes, I am pre-dating this, as most of this happened Wednesday,
and had there been wireless at The Emergency Room, I would have posted, but
alas, there was none) Spring called, saying that The Younger's X-ray was
inconclusive and next up was a CAT (Computerized Axial Tomography) scan, and
that the rest of us should probably head on back home as there was no telling
how long The Younger and Spring would be there.
And that, alas, is all the information I have at this time.
So … how was your day?

Doctors think it's a stomach flu, although why it took a CAT scan to figure
that out, I don't know.
