Sickness: Part Too Many!!

This weekend has been filled with additional sickness. Thursday I started not feeling well, but toughed out the day at work. I came home and immediately went to bed. Adam took Alex to the ENT on Friday because his ears still weren't cleared up. They told us to put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in his ears before putting ear drops ins to help get rid of all the earwax buildup. I had to go for my monthly visit with Dr. Putman on Friday too. I had lost about 1 1/2 pounds, so total weight gain is at about 10 lbs. I was supposed to do my blood glucose test, but since I was feeling nauseous they said I could do it on Monday. I didn't go to work and slept the rest of the day away.

Saturday, I still wasn't feeling great and then Alex started acting like he didn't feel well. He didn't eat much and didn't play a lot either. He ended up puking about 7pm and woke up with diarrhea. Both ends have gotten at work out all day and we couldn't get him to drink anything. I was starting to get worried and after consulting with Nana we decided to call the telenurse. They told us just to be safe, we needed to take him to Express Care. So we hopped in the car, and off we went. They gave Alex Zofran to stop the nausea, and tried giving him Pedialyte. Of course, we couldn't get him to drink any of it, but they let us go home and told us to call Dr. Savage in the morning if he still wasn't drinking. I got him to drink some on the way home and he even asked for fruit snacks. I gave him some and he ate them all. He came home and went to bed, and has been sleeping for about an hour and a half now. Let's cross our fingers that tomorrow will be a better day. The good news is they said his ears looked pretty clear, so looks like the drops are finally working!! We go for a recheck in 3 weeks.

I'm going to stay home with him, but am getting up early to go take my glucose test before Adam has to go to work. The spring weather is so beautiful, we're hoping it will stay and take away all our yucky sickness!!

On a funny note. . . since Alex has had several dirty diapers today I kept checking his pants asking him if he had pooped. At one point today he grabbed the back of my pants and asked me if I had pooped. I seriously couldn't quit laughing and it still makes me laugh as I write this. Later on in the day while I was eating a sandwich and drinking a soda, I burped extremely loud and Alex handed me his puke bowl just in case I needed it. He is definitely an observant little man!
