Sickness update

So Eoin has been so ill this week! As previously posted Eoin got a tummy bug. We thought he was improving during the day on Wednesday but Wednesday night he deteriorated so fast it was scary. Our poor little man was vomiting and pooping for America! In fact he lost just over a pound in weight this last week.

He became quite dehydrated and so we had to take him to Urgent Care. The doctors wanted to start an IV but they were just about to close so they gave us the option of going to the ER or going home and drip feeding Eoin with a syringe and pedilyte. We opted for the later and so we sat up all night with him. Luckily by the morning he had kept nearly 12 oz of fluid down by this method of feeding but his pee out put was tiny so we had to go back to the doctors.

Anyway long story short Eoin began to improve on Friday as shown by the picture of Eoin sitting up eating his Pedilyte popsicle.

As of today Sunday he has stopped vomiting and the diarrhea is lessing (thank the lord! We went through 130 diapers this week and Eoin's poor bottom is so sore). Eoin tried solid food for the first time today and has also started chatting and playing with us again. It is so good to have our little man back; it is every parents weorse nightmare to see their little one ill!
