Well our little monster had his first trip to the ER on Monday night. We arrived around 10:30 and we were in a room by 11:30. He started feeling bad Sunday afternoon and running a high fever. I thought it was just because he was teething since he also had diarrhea, BUT I was wrong. Well Monday he was not feeling well at all and acting pitiful and then around 1:00 he started throwing up, so we knew it was more than just his teeth. His temp was up to 104.4 and that really scared us. We decided it was time to take him to the hospital because he would not drink anything and his temp would not come down. They said they were glad we brought him in because he was getting dehydrated. They hooked our poor baby up to a IV, which was awful, and then they wrapped this big old thing around his arm so he wouldnt pull the IV out. He did not like that at all. He slept a lot while we were there and his fever continued to stay up, but FINALLY after being there until 11 the next morning his temp started going down and he was getting a little more energy to sit up and stuff. All his test came back fine...he just had a very bad stomach virus and needed some fluids in his body so he would not dehydrate. He seems to be feeling a little more alive today. He smiled this morning and crawled around a little, but he is still kind of weak. He finally ate a jar of baby food last night and kept it down. He also has been drinking some gatorade, so hopefully that will help him too. Keep my little man in your prayers. I will keep yall posted.
