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.
