Something is going on with my grandson [View all]

He's 6 1/2 months old, and a couple of days ago had an episode where he threw up four times in a very short span of time. Then nothing for a few days. I even went for a short masked visit yesterday.

Well, it started again today. They went to the ER, and now he's being transferred to Children's Hospital in Colorado Springs. I don't want to bombard my son with questions because he's following the ambulance while my daughter-in-law rides along.

I'll be crazy with worry until we figure this out. He has no fever and his vitals are good, but he's definitely not acting like himself.
