Well, we had more vomiting and diarrhea incidents over the weekend and i had finally had enough. I called the pediatrician yesterday, but they could not get him in. Fist thing this morning I was on the phone with them and got him the only appointment available for today.
Long story short, they have determined that the vomiting is, in all likelihood, a result of GERD. They have prescribed Zantac for that, so we will see how he does over the next few days.
For the diarrhea, they have narrowed it down to two possibilities. The first is that he is having an intestinal reaction to all of the antibiotics he has been on for the ear infections he has had over the last six months. The second possibility is giardiasis--an intestinal parasite. That is where the doctors are leaning. Stool samples were taken and we should no more by the end of the weak. Both are very treatable, though and I am not worried. God will take care of my little man.
I heard from DH finally yesterday, but honestly do not feel like posting about it right now. I have talked to some people who support my spiritual stand and I know how I am going to proceed. In essence though, it appears that nothing has really changed in his mind and heart over the course of the deployment. It doesn't matter. God is a mighty God and He will move and destroy that mountain and the enemy's strongholds on my DH in His time. I wait on the pleasure of the Lord.
