Oh no. Sorry to hear that you’re both sick. I’m actually surprised that they gave him something to stop the vomitting. When they have stomach bugs the vomitting and diarrhea actually serve to remove the virus from the system. That’s why you shouldn’t take immodium either when you have a stomach bug.
Anyhow, hope he’s feeling better soon.
thats what i thought Lori! i really wish i would have thought of that when we were at the ER, i would have said something
and he is worse now. he has been screaming since he got that shot-non stop. he at least wasnt screaming yesterday. and here i am vomitting away, and Mike is bitching about Trace. all he wants to do is set him down and let him scream.
agh am losing it!Natalia,
You will get through this OK!!! My entire family had it too. I was puking like you and then for three days I couldn’t eat and all I could do was turn on Sesame Street while my daughter and I slept on the couch and watched it. Brianna had diareha every 30 min, no pee diapers, and hardly would eat anything. I went from a cow(i am BF) to a dry tundra overnight! And right in the throws of it, my husband got sick. But…we all made it through. Please tell your husband (as nicely as possible
) not to even think about complaining about anything right now. Keep trying to give Trace the meds, and any liquids he will take. Keep us posted and I will pray for you and your family.Hugs!
Oh, no Natalia! We all had it too. It was horrible but on the bright side it was shorter for me and dh…only two really bad days and then a day or two of not feeling great but no more puking or diarrhea.
It’s so hard to take care of a sick baby when you are sick yourself. I hope you have some help.
The pediatrician I talked to about Myles said to keep feeding him as much as he would eat or drink even though he was throwing up and pooping everything out because each time he ate or drank anything he was at least absorbing some of it. Small, frequent feedings worked best.
It’s really a bummer for both of you to be sick at Christmas time.
I hope you’re both better soon.Natalia – I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this! Like Christine, we went through this about a week ago. It was no fun. Sarah never puked, but she had diarrhea for 7 days and refused to take any bottles. It was so stressful!!! I ended up being able to get Sarah to eat a little bit of baby food and that made me feel a little better b/c she was at least getting SOMETHING in her system. She did puke up baby food in the middle of the night once…just remembered that.
Try Christine’s idea of small syringe feedings for a while. I really hope he AND YOU feel better soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks everyone.
as of right now Trace has been screaming all day. he is thrashing himself around and NOTHING soothes him. he was also up last night about every 30 minutes either vommiting or having the runs
i thought it would be getting better by now but he seems to be getting worsehelp
i wonder if that anti vomit shot had something in it. ugh!
i offer him fluids constantlyy, most of the time he refuses, and he gags. the gag stimulates vomit.
thanks for the advice., i think i just have to wait for this to pass…im going to try to push the pedialyte more so than the formula. its just hard because it cant be given the pedialyite within 2 hours of meds….
he has hardly had any wet diapers this whole time. that was one of the main reasons i brought him to the ER. yet the er doc said i was doing an excellent job at keeping him hydrated.
he also said that IV’s werent that effective at keeeping babies hydrated, and that the better thing to do was just keeep trying to give him sips of pedialyte. i dont know though, most of the time when i offer fluids he gags like i said.
i hate these viruses!nataliachick72006-12-27 14:34:30
Sounds like you’re doing a great job, Natalia. It was exhausting trying to keep Myles hydrated when he was so sick so I certainly know what you’re going through. I hate these darn viruses, too.
Hopefully he’ll turn the corner soon.
