James is OK. But, he has been very sick the last few days, and today after 5 hours of testing we have discovered that he has a pretty serious UTI and kidney infection. It is uncommon for his age, and the reasons why are still unclear. James is miserable, and may possibly be admitted to the hospital to be put on an IV to keep him hydrated.
Like I said, he is OK. He will recover and be fine, but it is breaking my heart to see him like this. His little body is fighting a painful and serious grown-up infection. So, James and I will stay in MD until he is well enough to go home. We'll call it an extended vacation, and take advantage of all the love and support we're getting from my family. Later.

It broke our hearts to hear about James. Poor little guy, and it's so hard on you as parents to stand by and not be able to take the pain away.
So hard. It is an awful thing to see a not-verbal-yet baby suffer. So sad.

Oh Lauren, I feel so sad for the three of you. It is so painful to see our little ones hurting. One thing I do believe is that you are probably hurting worse than he is. He is little but his body is very strong. Make sure you both get blessings! I love and miss you!
Poor little guy, I hope he starts feeling better soon. I know how hard it is to watch your child and not be able to make it better. Stay strong and give him lots of loving. Take care and I'll keep you all in my prayers.
