Ina-
Sorry to hear that Devin is back in the hospital.  Hang in there.  I join 
our other friends here in wishing you and Devin well.

This time though it has nothing to do with his prematurity - he has gastro - which has caused quite severe dehydration.  I am so stupid, I noticed his stools were very watery and he "oopsed" a couple of times yesterday but it did not look too bad.  I also noticed that his eyes seemed larger than usual (sure sign of dehydration) now I am told but I thought nothing of it.
