Default Biggest Scare Since Your Baby Was Born?

Has anyone had a big scare since their baby was born? Mine happened when Alex was one month old. He started projectile vomiting and had to spend 10 days in the hospital before they could diagnose the problem. He went from 7.5 pounds to 6.3 in those ten days because he couldn't keep anything down. They x-rayed, pulled blood, tested everything, and finally discovered he had pyloric stenosis. He had to have surgery to open the valve that leads from his stomach to his intestine. It wasn't letting any food through. My husband and I have never been so scared in our entire lives. As soon as the surgery was done he started keeping food down and started gaining weight back. Since then he's been just fine and is now fat and happy. Has anyone ever had a scare like this or am I the only unlucky one?
