Question: My grandson is 2 years old and had indeception(?) where his large intestines are twisted into their smaller intestines. Went to Childrens and air was blown up his rectum to untangle. It worked! Since, he has been throwing up, high fever of 104. He has had ultra sounds showing that it worked; however his smaller bowels are inside of his smaller intestines, which goes in and out. He has not had a CAT scan yet. The blood work shows that his white blood cells are high, which the doc said could be because he has a virus. I don't believe that is the only thing going on. For the past 2 days, he is still throwing up, has not had a bowel movement and is not interested in anything except sleeping - he has been awake a total of 5 hours for the past 2 days and very lethargic. What more could be going on? Should we ask for more blood work - demand a CAT scan? He normally is a very active 2 year old. Any suggestions you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

An ultrasound was done again 2 days later that is how we found out the bowel was inside his smaller intestines; however it the procedure did in fact work, but doctors said sometimes that causes pain. Doctors mentioned having appendicitis but now has indicate that it may be some type of viral infection.

Don't you think something else is going on - why would he be so lethargic? Are there other blood work they could take?
