Pharaoh had HGE and has recovered completely. He was vomiting blood as well as the bloody pooh which got him an immediate trip to the vet (not our regular vet as we were out of town). After a stay with the vet with an IV for fluids and every test known to man or beast, they sent him home with meds, prescription food and orders to watch him closely (not a problem since I was now paranoid). They never could find a cause, but he has never had another episode since. So give hugs and love to your baby and we'll send prayers from this end.
