Baby Boy

My little man is 5 and a half months old, and when I noticed he wasn't feeling well, I started watching him. After three kids, I don't jump to the doctor's any more! I got the tylenol out, fed him apple juice and water and watched him. Wednesday night he didn't sleep good, but I figured not feeling well and the heat, he would be okay! Well, yesterday he wasn't. He had diarrhea for two days, he was throwing everything back up, and was extremely warm. It was time to call the doctors. I called the doctors, and they said he was dehydrated, and since he was spitting everything up, we needed to go to the ER. I went and got Peter from school, and Matt from work and we were on our way to Children's ER. It seems like it took forever to get there, and Matthew was extremely cranky the entire way! We finally got there, and they ran some tests, and sure enough he was severely dehydrated! And he had a fever of 103.6 when I got there. That wasn't good either. They put an IV in my baby, and took urine through a catheter (which I held him through both) and gave him IV fluids. After the IV was done, they brought him in some formula. He ate 4 ounces! I was so happy, especially since he hadn't been eating! We brought him home, and he slept all night. He was in my bed, but he slept all night! He's got a virus though, and it should pass over time. He got up at 7 this morning, and ate about 2 ounces of formula, played with his new toys from his Grandma, and he is now asleep with this toys in his bouncy chair. This is a happy day! He seems to be feeling better. No fever this morning!! I will update again tonight! =)

Hasta Luego!
