No longer Purple.

In true Tyler form, he came home from the ED with the most energy I've seen all day and wanted eat and drink. I think all he did was nibble and sip on something until he went in for a nap at 330. He's still sleeping but not without me checking every once in a while that he's breathing and the right color. It's been quite a day and I'm hoping I can sleep tonight.

Short side-trip on Tyler's Bus.

We are back home. At the moment the plan is to watch and wait. We don't have a single combined answer to what is going on. We ended up spending more time waiting for doctors to call each other than anything else.

Pedi has seen viral cases cause the blue fingers and toes 1-2 month olds. Other than that call Neonatology.

Neonatology is leaning towards something viral. They don't know how that explains the blue fingers in an 18 month old. They suggested calling Neurosurgery.

Neurosurgery says to call back if there is still something not right after viral causes have been ruled out or neurological symptoms develop. Otherwise they don't see a reason to go poking around in his head.

ED Doc said that she found all of the above rather unsatisfying and had hoped to be able to give us a more solid answer.

So we are left with providing care and comfort as if it is a virus (most likely) and watching for other symptoms.

Hopefully, that is all.

Just when things were getting the good kind of boring.

This morning Tyler work up with a EPA super-fund site in his pants, blue fingers and toes, and a nasty case of the grumps.. I'm writing this from an ED bed in Nashua. We'll post when we know something.

And for kicks here's a pic of a recent "art" project.
