Sick Baby pt 2

Ethan did go to the dr this afternoon. She said that it's nothing more than some kind of viral infection. Over the last 2 days she has seen 15-20 infants coming in with high fevers & vomiting. I was told to give Ethan the pedialyte via medicine dropper instead of letting him drink from a bottle. By having him drink from a bottle he'll just chug then throw it right back up. He has been running a fever about 102 all day today. I've done everything to get him cooled down. I wrapped him in a light blanket with ice packs around him, gave him a cool bath, put a cool washcloth on his head, the pedialyte is kept in the fridge, we have just let him run around in a diaper since he's been so pukey it's pointless to get him dressed. As long as he's producing tears & giving us a wet diaper 2x a day there is no cause for concern. If the fever persists more than 3 days she wants us to bring him back in. Poor Ethan all he wants to do is snuggle. It seems like its the only way he'll sleep. Hopefully he'll get a good nights sleep tonight & will start to feel better in the morning.

Unfortunately this ruins the PKU challenge we were doing. He was almost done only 2 more days to go. So we are going to have to start it all over again when he's all better. So for now we are not giving him any meat. As of today he doesn't want to eat anything so it might be a week before we can start the challenge again. Hopefully he'll be feeling better by Sunday. The Easter Bunny is bringing him some goodies in a basket.
