Crazy Couple of Days!

Monday: Nick and Natalie get a crazy hair up their butts, say hey, it's summer vacation, let's do something. So we plan a short camping trip to Durango - located a nice campground that had camper cabins which would provide a little shelter for Cayle on his first camping excursion. Side note, Cayle was spitting up on this day...nothing major, but different for him.

Tuesday: uneventful

Wednesday: We left early for Durango. Mark was watching the dogs for us, so it was just the three of us. Very scenic drive, awesome views as we headed down to the very southwest corner of Colorado. Campground was great, had dinner and ColdStone (yay!) in Durango and walked around Durango for a bit. Cayle had a major vomiting episode :(

Thursday: We slept in a bit then got ready and headed out for our drive. Our plan was to go to the Four Corners Monument, then backtrack and go to Mesa Verde National Park to see the cliff dwellings. On the way to Four Corners, Nick got pulled over. He again got away with a warning. He's just so charming, cops can't give him a ticket I guess??? Four Corners was.....closed. Yep, closed for construction. So, we didn't get to do all four corners. But we were apparently parked in New Mexico at one point, so Cayle did get to go to a different state. Mesa Verde was pretty cool. Nick and I enjoyed the history lesson. Cayle enjoyed all the attention he got as we were out and about. Cayle had a few major vomiting episodes :( Dinner was at Home Slice Pizza in Durango...yummy as usual!

Friday: We had planned to get breakfast at Bread (uber awesome place in Durango) and then take a scenic route home. However, Cayle had been vomiting overnight, and we decided we needed to get him in to the dr. Communication with the dr resulted in her making an appt for an ultrasound for Cayle on our way home. That ultrasound pointed toward Pyloric Stenosis. So we were then instructed to drive to Denver to the Children's Hospital. Basically Cayle can't keep food down because the stomach muscle keeps tightening and not allowing the food through to his small intestine. How to fix this? Surgery. We were in the ER until about 1 am Saturday morning, and were then admitted into our own room.

Saturday: At this point, we are waiting for another ultrasound to confirm what they found yesterday. After that, they will do surgery which should hopefully fix all of the issues.
