Baffled and Exhausted

from Ben's parents

Ben's blood tests came back normal, leaving everyone perplexed. Ben's doctor isn't even on call tonight and she has called us twice already. She, like us, if of a more natural persuasion and not inclined to use pharmaceuticals. However, she is putting Ben on Tylenol with Codeine because he hasn't responded to anything else and she says that we all have to sleep. Since we have tried natural and we have tried the simple stuff, we are willing to try this for Ben's sake. He still hasn't quit crying since 2am. And he wants to sleep so bad....

Poor little guy! We'll be praying for him to feel better and an answer.

I'm so sorry to hear all of this! We're praying. I hope the stronger medicine gives you all some relief, and especially Ben. It's so hard to see your little one suffer, especially when you don't know why!

Hopefully you all were able to get some sleep. Keep us updated. Gary and I will be thinking of you.

Still praying! Spreading the word a bit to make sure he gets full coverage. =)

Hopeful that you three got a bit of sleep last night!
