Have had a terrible night in our house. My poor little man Jesse threw up in bed last night at about 8.30pm. Put him in the bath. He was freeking out big time as hes never been sick before. Got him out and dressed and he continued to be sick. That went on for about 2 hours. Wouldnt drink anything. Called a help line as i had no idea what to do, hes alway been so well. They suggested taking him to hospital as he was lathargic, pale and wouldnt drink. So called the IL's to look after Keira and went down to hospital around 11pm. Stupid woman on reception.. had to spell Jesse's name to her 3 times in the mean time Jesse was being sick and screaming. Ehh sorry just topped it off. But then were told by a nurse to give him 7mls water which we measured out into a seringe every 10 minutes. He was happy to take that but just wanted more, even though we werent allowed to give any more than that every 10 minutes. He ended up keeping that all down and fell asleep in the pram (while waiting for the doctor) for about half an hour. But then woke as he couldnt get comfortable. There was still several hours wait as there was 3 people on life support last night and the doctors were attending to them.. so we decided to take him home to try and rest at about 2am as he hadnt thrown up for 2 hours. Got home and he was sick again. Was just so lathargic. So pulled out a matress onto the lounge room flour and tried to sleep with him on it. He slept there off and on until about 3.30am when Keira woke for a feed. DH attended to her and i decided to try putting Jesse back in bed. He fell asleep holding my hand my poor little baby. And slept until about 7.30am this morning. Hasnt been sick since but had 2 very watery poos around 9am and nothing since. Has been wanting to drink lots of water which is good and had a piece of toast with vegemite this morning which was also good. Seemed like back to his old self in certain periods then just tired in others. So hes in bed now. Hopefully he will sleep for a few good hours. MIL is here helping look after Keira and as much as i in the past have shudded at the thought.. its actually a god blessing having her here. Maybe its a turn around for me with MIL. Both her and FIL have been great looking after Keira last night and today.
Anyways.. im going to try and get some sleep while shes here looking after Keira. Will be back later.
