My Baby a.k.a. Stinky Pete
J's sick.. Not sure w/ what yet though. He was feeling very sickly last night and threw up a couple times, then got up at 2 a.m. and threw up again. He's so pitiful it just breaks ur heart. This morning he was very clingy but was acting a little better. So against my own advice I took him to daycare and sure enough they call me at 9:30 telling me he's running fever and not acting like himself at all. So I pick him up, meet D at the pediatrician (by the way love my pediatricians office, I call at 9:30 tell the nurse his symptoms and am promptly offered 2 appt times, one for 10:30 and one for 2:45... How great is that) so anyways he gets weighed (24 lbs) temp taken (99) and we wait for the dr. normally we have 2 wait a while but seriously like 3 mins after the nurse left the dr was there.GREAT!! For all that have kids you know how awful it is to have to wait w/ a sick kid at the doctors office(TORTURE) so the dr(not his regular pediatrician that we LOVE but thats ok) checks his:
ears-clear
stomach-feels fine
bowel movements-fine
dehydrated-no
throat-little red so she did a swab to check for mono...... shortly after this test J gagged so much he threw up all over D who was holding him-poor baby
well mono test is negative so then they did a blood test (This is where I had to leave 2 go back to work , blessing in disguise cause I can't stand needles) although it was extremely hard.But D's got him
Well blood test came back fine so they put a bag around him to try and get a urine sample. They waited a while to try adn get one but he never peed so D is taking him home now (yes w/ the bag, I tried to get D to explain to me how this contraption is actually attached to him but it was hard 4 me 2 understand over the phone) D will take him back once he gets the urine sample and they will check that. If thats fine then they don't know and we'll just continue to give him liquids. Thankfully D and I were already off 2omorrow so we can stay home w/ him and give him lots of love and attention..... Its so sad whenyour children are sick. Babies are exceptionally sad and frustrating cause they can't tell you whats wrong and as thier parent all u want to do is make them better a.s.a.p. Please keep us all in ur prayers as we try and figure out the source of his sickness and try to nurture him back 2 health. I know that God is w/ us and he will take care of us. God is great god is good.... At times like these I can't help but think of all the wonderful parents out there that have to deal w/ this on a daily basis w/ their children and how strong they are in their faith and themselves to handle this. I am in awe of the strength of parents sometimes. I know its God who carries them through their journeys and gives them the strength and it is so great to have someone in our lives who will do this for us. AMAZING
