ER again, home now

Well, Mario threw up more blood around 3am, I took him to the ER after talking to Dr. Murray. It wasn't a terribly large amount but brighter than we would like so they had to make sure there wasn't something active again. I spent the wee hours of the morning with the ER staff at childrens again, poor Mario had to have another NG tube, an new IV, labs drawn, etc. They flushed out his tummy through the tube and his hematacrit was stable so they let me go home around 8am. We'll be spending a quiet day at home now.
