Tater Tot's Situtation

2005-08-11 Thread Julie Johnson
Hi Everyone, I'm really worried about my little man. When I went to visit him last night, his belly was even more full of fluid. He's on an IV (he's quite dehydrated) and getting antibiotics for the high WBC. He was quite happy to see me and acting like he felt well. He greedily ate baby food
