Well what a horrible past few days in my house.
As you know, Jesse and Isaac both picked up a gastro bug while we were out on Friday.
Saturday night Jesse was throwing up all night, freaking out (as you know).
Sunday morning he did 2 watery poos and ate some toast. He seemed like his old self, was running around the back yard with MIL. He then went down for a nap. He woke up a few hours later. Brought him out and he threw up again 3 times. So decided to call the doctor and just get him checked out. She was great, just said to keep up his fluids (only give small amounts every 10 minutes as the hospital told us), get him some Gastrolyte, which we had and up until then he wouldnt drink it. So went back home. We got him to drink some of that stuff by watering it down at first then he got onto it full strength. Temperature then came on. Gave him some panadol. Took 45 minutes to kick in. But calmed him down alot when it did. He then slept in his bed. Woke at midnight and was whimpering and crying until about 3am out in the lounge room. Then ended up falling asleep and was awake again at 5am doing the same. Was rolling around the lounge room just so upset and so sick. Was taking the gastrolyte but i could only give him 7mls every 10 minutes and he was asking for more, and was getting upset when i couldnt give it to him. Gave more panadol for the temperature that was still there. He then had the runs and fell asleep eventually around 9ish. Then the same just continued to happen for the rest of the day. He was so so sick. I felt so bad for him there was nothing i could do. DH then got then got the runs. Around 5pm he was throwing up really bad. MIL had been here since she'd been home from work and she then threw up also. Think it was from hearing DH being sick though as she has a week stomack. DH then went to bed. I sent MIL home. And was left to look after Keira and a sick little boy! By this time Jesse was falling asleep again on his little fold out lounge. Keira started playing up so i was in her room trying to settle her so she would disturb Jesse. Settle her and come out to find him playing with his cars! I was shocked. His temperature was completely gone (he'd had it for 24 hours). We sat at the table and drew. He was so wobbly on his feet though. So sad. But he ended up getting tired around 8.30pm and i put him to bed where he slept until 5am this morning.. which was great. He really needed that sleep. I slept on the lounge just hoping i dont get it from DH. Keira fed then at 10pm and didnt wake until 4am this morning for her next feed, which was great also.. i was so buggered and needed the sleep. Jesse today is so much better. He's had 2 runny nappies and is so wobbly still on his feet. He looks so skinny. He lost 1kg in 2 days. But he has eaten 2 arrowroot biscuits through today and is still drinking lots. So i think hes on the road to recovery. Hes asleep in bed atm. DH seems to be getting better.. is just very sore and warn out today.
So far *TOUCH WOOD* Keira and i havent had it and am praying neither of us, especially her, get it. I pray Jesse or her never get it again, but i know theyre kids and they will. That was the worst 3 days of my life seeing Jesse that sick. He was so ill. His eyes were all sunken in and red and glassy and he was white as a ghost. Was so horrible to see my little baby boy like that.
But anyways.. im going to go make the most of the time both my kids are asleep and try and sleep some myself.
I hope everyone is doing well and all those babies are now starting to sleep though!
Ill be back to catch up once our house is back in order and everyone is better.
Thanks for all your thoughts
