Oh The Excitement!

So, this week has been a bit of a doozy!! Seems as though both boys have come down with the Rotavirus. We had puke and runny poop on tuesday, wednesday things seemed to be looking up. Though not that far up!! Wednesday night was a rough one for Liam. He puked at about 3:30 in the morning and must have scared himself badly because we had a hell of a time getting him to go back to bed!! He was so tired. Just laying on me trying his hardest to stay awake but if I tried to lay him in his crib, he'd scream this terrified scream. poor little turd. He finally passed out for a few hours. Meanwhile, we had Spencer trying multiple times to sneak into our bed. I should have known something was up because he very rarely does this. Anyway, first thing Thursday morning, he puked all over the kitchen floor. At least he had to the sense to puke on the kitchen floor and not the carpet!! What a good little man! Anyhow, he really starting going downhill after that puke. He was completely listless laying on the couch. He couldn't hold his head up, couldn't keep his eyes open, was barely able to respond if you talked to him. He had NO colour. And I mean seriously NO COLOUR. He lips were grey, his skin was white. It was awful! I phoned the clinic here and arranged to bring him in immediately. Doc checked him out, discovered he's super duper constipated, and had an irregular heart beat. EXCUSE ME?? Yeah, scared me pretty good. He sent us home with instructions to pump as much pedialyte into him that we could get. So we did. He started perking up around mid afternoon and today has been back to himself. We went into the hospital this morning so the Doc could check him. Everything is normal!! They even hooked him up to the ECG machine for a little bit just to make doubly sure that his little heart was beating as it should be. He loved the 'stickers' that the nurse put on his chest and was very happy to lay there while she stuck him all up with stickers and wires!! He was even more excited when she told him he could keep the stickers and take them home!!! He had them all peeled off by the time we pulled into the driveway!! haha So anyway, today has started off much better than yesterday. We're taking it easy, sipping on pedialyte mixed with apple juice, eating toast and soda crackers! We might get a little wild and have soup for lunch!!! Happy Friday!
