Poor, Sick Brady Bug

Whew. As much as I've been looking forward to this week, it turned out nothing like I planned. (Isn't that how God works sometimes?) On Sunday night, Brady began having 'loose' diapers (if you know what I mean) that smelled something terrible, and he started threw up twice. At first we thought it was something that he ate. So I racked my brain to think of something he ate that was new for him.

Monday he was fine, then Tuesday it started all over again and he started not wanting anything to eat or drink. He couldn't hold anything down. On Wednesday morning he woke up and was simply not himself. Super lathargic. He wouldn't eat or drink anything so we went to the doctor. In the midst of all of this, I got sick too. So was it a virus or was I just making myself with worry? We still don't know!

When we went to the doctor, we decided that he had a virus that had worsened with dehydration... so if B. threw up one more time or didn't wet a diaper by bed time we would be headed to the hospital. Thankfully, he had a wet diaper that night... so we slept much better. But Thursday, again, there was no appetite and my sweet boy was not himself. He had no appetite and would again, not eat or drink anything. In the afternoon, he finally took some pedialyte but then it came right back up, so our doctor told us to go ahead and take him to the E.R.

He did great at the hospital, and they told us he actually didn't look that bad. The doctor actually made me feel silly for bringing him in! But we were like, "You don't understand, something is really wrong! Last week he was eating everything in sight and he's not touching anything!" They took all of his vitals, and by the time they were going to do an IV, he decided he wanted a bottle! (After we paid for it, of course!)

He's been getting progressively better ever since then and today was much better... and he finally started waking up hungry yesterday afternoon. Poor guy, we miss his sweet laugh!! Too bad our first trip to the Emergency Room wasn't for something "cooler", we were there for a tummy virus!
