Under the Weather

We have been under the weather for about the last week, but we are headed uphill....Thank goodness.  Starting last Thursday, Greyson started with a runny nose and cough.  I knew he wasn't feeling very good and then it turned to diarrhea and a low grade fever on Sunday.  The loose stools just ended yesterday on Wednesday. His poor little bottom has been so sore.

Nate and I both took off the beginning of the week because it was so bad.  After each bowel movement I would just put Grey in the shower because that's the only thing that felt good to him.  After about 3 days of it I finally called the doctor because I was getting scared.  Scared of dehydration and he was not eating much at all, but he was drinking which I new was good.  They told me we were doing everything we were supposed to be doing and his fever had stopped on Monday which was good.  We were giving him watered down 7up and gatorade.  I was trying the BRAT diet but he wasn't much for anything.  So, he has been in love with popscicles.  Hey I didn't care just as long as it was something.  He's only 28lbs and he's tall.  He looks so skinny to me right now and you can feel all his little ribs when you pick him up.  The diarrhea finally stopped last night, at least I hope so.  He has not had any today, but his bottom is still red but we are taking care of it.  He is also starting to get back to his sweet little self.  His eyes were just not the same until today.  There is nothing worse than a sick little baby and he has really had a bug.

This has been our week together.  Not what you want, but I'm just glad he's better.

And this is him today (pics taken with my phone)...diving in to a tootsie roll...
