The good news is that I believe that we have turned the corner but my little guy had a rough weekend which concluded in his first trip to the ER. Saturday morning he became ill though we hoped it was just a fluke and that he was okay. But, by the time he had thrown up three times, we figured that he was officially not well. Saturday night was marked by a high fever and lots of wakings. Daddy slept on the floor next to him which helped reassure him that everything was going to be okay. Sunday we kept the fever, ditched the nausea and moved to good
ol' diarrhea (which I now know how to correctly spell).
:) Because his fluid intake was pretty much non-existent, the high fever and
lethargy, we decided to not risk him getting dehydrated and took him to the ER. A few hours later, we were reassured that he was just the victim of a nasty GI virus making its way around and that he was not dehydrated. While at the hospital, he started to drink again and was a happy camper by the time we put him to bed. He slept well and has shown all the good signs we wanted to see this morning. Having a sick baby is the WORST (except for the fact that they really want lots of hugs and kisses from Mommy and Daddy). I praise God for healing our little one and pray that he continue to improve.
PS - not that it's important, but the Billy Joel concert was amazing (see previous post). Thanks to Grandma who took such good care of Jon David while we had a night out. Billy Joel played all the songs I wanted with the exception of "So It Goes" and "Just the Way You Are." What an entertainer!

These pictures are jsut heartbreaking. He looks so miserable in the second one. Not his smiling self. Poor guy. Elaina ahs had several trips to the ER. As a matter of fact, she has had more ambulance rides than everyone in our family put together. She is the child with the most problems, though she has been my HAPPIEST baby by far! God made her special that way.... for both me and her!
