Hi again –
We’ve been having a rough time lately – I feel like I’m posting with new dilemmas every day! Anyway, Owen has caught what I think is his first stomach bug but I’m not sure. He had a cold this weekend then yesterday morning threw up his bottle before daycare so he stayed home. He was ok all day but had no solids until dinner (which was small) and then had a couple of ounces but threw up again. He had his whole bottle this morning but then threw it all up again so we put him on pedialyte all day. He did fine with it and had some crackers and pasta at lunchtime, and 1/2 a chicken nugget at dinner but that was about it. He’s had some of his bottle and so far, so good.
Anyway, I’m concerned because he would hardly eat anything all week last week so now I’m wondering if this is all related or if one has nothing to do with the other. He was finally eating relatively normally on Saturday/Sunday, but then this started. He’s never had a stomach virus so I have no idea what it’s normally like but he’s SO whiney and clingy. He also has a tooth breaking through – could that be causing this too?
Ugh – I’m so overwhelmed and miserable right now. I feel like we keep taking one step forward and ten steps back. I almost feel like post-partum weepy too – I say one word and start to cry. It’s all just been too much to deal with and it feels like it’s just been SO long that he has suffered and we have worried.
