Sick Again



Samuel (along with Mom and Dad) have had a rough couple of days. Yesterday afternoon, Samuel threw up after eating and it has all been downhill from there. All milk products were replaced by Pedialite and sugar free jello. Throughout the day he continued to vomit and have diarrhea. He also spiked a fever around 2, but it quickly came down with a bit of Tylenol. About 8 last night he spiked another fever that went all the way up to 102.9. We got him in a cool bath and called the Childrens Hospital for advise. They were not nearly as concerned as we were. They recommended more Tylenol, push the fluids and try to get him to rest. Which for once in his life is easy to do since he wants to be in our arms the entire time. This morning he woke up without a fever, but did spike two throughout the day. The Tylenol seems to bring it right down thankfully. He was able to keep foods down today. He ate oatmeal, sweet potatoes, applesauce and baby yogurt (all recommended by the hospital to help with diarrhea). They lied. I think we went through five outfits of his today and two of mine. They believe it is a viral infection so we have to keep his fever down, keep him hydrated and let him sleep. Hopefully tomorrow he will be getting back to his old self. Please keep him and his health in your prayers!
