Tuesday he started out fine, then at 11am or so he started feeling icky. He threw up and went to sleep for 5 hours. I took his temp and it read 100.6. I gave him some motrin and the fever went down and he got his appetite back (I let him have 6 crackers and some water). Then he threw up again at 5 pm or so (bigtime). I gave him more motrin and he went back to bed. He was a bugger to get to sleep that night!
Yesterday, no barfing. He was on motrin all day, but still had a fever of 99.9. He ate nothing but cheezit crackers and water all day.
Today, no barfing. He was on motrin all day again. He ate a peanut butter sandwich and some peanut butter/saltine cracker sandwiches with water and gatorade (and an occasional reeses mini cup). His temp was 99.2.
I called the nurse at his doctor's office. She said I am doing the right thing, now just alternate tylenol and motrin, and no dairy for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone. Also she asked if we had gone to the lake or swimming ~ methinks mebbe he caught the bug at the church picnic SWIMMING party.
Well, I know it's very tough to have a sick baby. It's still tough to have a sick baby even when your baby is 28 years old like Jill is! LOL
At first when I read of the throwing up I figured it would be gone that day like most kid sicknesses are. I sure am sorry to hear it's gone on this long. Hope he is better tomorrow finally!
