Contrary to my post, this weekend started out great! Friday night our neighbors came over for some Indian food and game playing. We had a blast but per usual, did not get much sleep that night as our cute little biggy woke up at 6AM. Saturday started off great as well....we had a nice lazy morning and then our friends Caroline and Travis brought their 1 year old boy, Waylon over for a "happy hour" play date :) Waylon and Liam are only 3 months apart (almost to the day), so they had a blast. It was a nice break for the parents to sit back and relax while the boys entertained themselves. I was also super excited at the fact that Liam would wear himself out so much that he would have a great sleep that night. WRONG.
Around 11:00PM Liam started crying. Every now and then he will have what I assume is a nightmare and cry out for about 3 minutes, then go right back to sleep. Well I knew that something was off when he sat right up in bed and started wailing. When I went in there I discovered that he had thrown up all over his crib and all over himself. I didn't really think anything of it until I picked up him and he started vomiting again. This time all over me and the carpet. For the next hour and a half Liam proceeded to get sick every 20 minutes. It was awful. He was so pitiful and it was very hard to see. I also hated the feeling of being helpless. Nothing like your little man feeling awful and there is nothing you can do about it.
Luckily around 1AM he was able to fall asleep off and on until the morning. The next day we were very hopeful as he seemed much better after his morning nap. All that was squashed when he got sick again around 2PM the next day. Oy vey! Off to the Dr. we went. We got some meds to stop the vomiting and by nighttime he seemed to have stopped throwing up but was all around miserable! Sleep was rough. Up every 2 hours just moaning and I'm sure achy. Yesterday he did much better and by the evening he was crawling all over the place and even drinking some formula. After three rough nights, he (and we) finally got some sleep last night as our little guy slept from 7-6:30. Ah bliss. Today we seem to be almost completely back to normal. The appetite is still not quite there but I'm sure that will come with a little more time.
I am beyond thrilled that Liam is feeling better. The last 48 hours have been rough for everyone, both emotionally and physically. It was by far our hardest illness yet, but its great to know that we all made it and are on the mend!!!
Stomach bugs suck. Evans only threw up on Sunday thank god and I didn't even take him to the doctor! But he thew up 3 times in the morning and was fine all day and thew up twice at night but was then fine. I let him go to school this morning since it has been 36 hours but he didn't want to eat his dinner last night or eat much of his breakfast this morning. Told the teachers to call me if they needed me to come get him! I hope Tuesday is a better day for Liam (and you!)
