My son and his wife had to take the new baby to Children's Hospital this morning. He was throwing up a yellow substance. I'm very concerned because the doctor is a pediatrician and sent them past 8-10 hospitals to the hospital where transplants and miraculous procedures are done. That doesn't mean he will need that, but we don't know why he sent them to Pittsburgh. They live near the mountains- at least 35 miles from Children's. Please pray for him. He was born on 9/3 and he was only 5 lbs. 7 oz.

Jeanie of course the baby will be in my prayers!
The Dr. probably sent them to Childrens, as they are the best around! This way, if the little one needs more care, all the necessary persons and equipment are already there!
What is his name again?
....for the baby

Jeanie, I am so sorry to hear this, and I hope there is nothing seriously wrong with the baby. I agree with Debra Myers, he was probably sent to Children's Hospital as a precautionary measure. I am sending plenty of prayers and positive healing energy toward the baby and his parents.
(
The rest of the family is included too.)

They initially thought the baby's intestines were strangulated, but those tests were negative. His white count is up, so there is an infection. Yesterday he was having difficulty breathing, but this morning his breathing is ok. He is on intravenous antibiotics for infection. The big concern right now is that the spinal tap could not rule out meningitis. It was inconclusive, so there will be a culture done, and we will know the results in two days. He had a bottle last night and this morning. Please continue your prayers. It's so appreciated.
