Sick Day, December 2, 2010

My poor little guy and I are having a sick day on the couch today. He was running a fever of 100.5 last night which is much higher than his normal 97.8ish body temperature. He was crying in, what it seemed like, pain. There wasn't much that we could do to console him but luckily we had gotten some sugar ease from the doctor which helped him relax; sugar ease is a water/sucrose mixture that helps babies calm down and relaxes their muscles. We called the doctor and were told to give him Tylenol every 4 hours which brought his temperature down some but not much. He has also been throwing up and going from one extreme to another with either not using the bathroom (#2) or having diarrhea. We have spent the day on the couch and have rested all day. He seems to be feeling better but is still pretty hot. Please pray that our little guy feels better! He looks so sad that it breaks my heart! I do not like seeing my baby in pain!
