si-ick.


for the last 37 hours, i've had a sick little boy.   this area has seen a lot of stomach bugs going around.  he started out congested and doing breathing treatments.  yesterday morning at 2:30, he started throwing up and did so every hour, 1-3 times an hour, for 19 straight hours.  Emily had gone through the same thing recently where she was had the congestion and had thrown up because of all that stuff in her body, but not like this.  i had called the oncall doctor at 5am and i never received a call back.  we called our doctor and he said to use small doses of fluids, ice chips, etc, because he would not be able to keep large ones in his body.  i even tried suppositories on the boy.  that is not a fun one to put in a 3 yr old, btw.
last night, justin had to take him to the minor emergency.  he was starting to get the chills and the poor boy was so thirsty and hungry something had to be done asap.  they ended up giving him a pill to settle his tummy and help him sleep, which was great since he'd had 3 hours of sleep during that day.  last night, he slept through the night, has kept down pedialyte today and went back to sleep at 11am(he's still out and it's 3pm now).  he's a little dehydrated still, so as soon as he gets up, he'll be knocking back some more drink and maybe finally get some food in his tummy.  since i can't post photos on here, i've been trying to make sure i load some on facebook.  there are photos visible to the public on there of the little sick boy and the prettier side of being sick(sleeping). :)
