Wow, It's been a while since i have been able to post.. The New Year has started off VERY Busy!!
On January 6th Tyler woke up and was was playing and having such fun.. He LOVES Chocolate :) Check out this picture and you can tell.. ha ha
He had so much fun all day. Clay and Clara came over that evening and we cooked dinner. Well around 6:45 Tyler got up in my lap and acted like he was tired.. Which was not out of the ordinary because he usually gets kinda tired around that time.. Well Haleigh was sitting beside me on the couch and she was trying to play with Tyler, and he was turning his head back and forth. and all of a sudden he sits up looks at me and "THROWS UP" all over me.. all i could say was OMG!!OMG!! It was just that bad!! so i thought maybe he had a little bit of an upset tummy, but he kept on and kept on and by around 8pm he was like a limp washrag still throwing up... So we dressed him and took him to the ER. Thank GOD we didn't have to wait very long at all because my baby was constantly throwing up. it was terrible. we tried sitting away from everyone because i didnt know what was wrong and i didnt want anyone else to catch it. well they took him back and the dr came in and he wanted to do x-rays and bloodwork and give Tyler some IV fluids for dehydration. so they came in and Poked his ankle enough to get the blood. but then the vain blew and they couldnt do the IV so they had to stick my poor baby again. but he was so sick he was not even fighting them. they called another Nurse to come in and she got the IV in the other ankle with no problem. so now we Just had to wait on the x-ray and bloodwork to come back and the fluid to get in him. Luckly he was sleeping while having fluids. Dr came in and said x-ray and Bloodwork came back fine... as soon as he finished his bag of fluids we could go home and follow up with our dr in the morning. Dr said it was a virus and it's going around! So we did.. Here are some pictures from the hospital!

His poor little leg with the IV in it :(
Look how bad my baby looks..
Just TERRIBLE..I hope no one else gets this Virus.
JAN 7..Happy Birthday Daddy.. Well today was not much better than yesterday...We took Tyler to the dr..Our dr was out so we had to see the nurse practitioner and She said he looked pretty bad but they dont want to give him anything for the nausia because of his "Quit Breathing" spell he had last month. so basically he had to ride it out! She told me if he was no better to bring him back tomorrow and see Dr Nagel. so we went home and i wrote down everytime Tyler went to the bathroom and threw up and within 2 hours i had filled up an entire sheet of paper. It was Terrible. we had gone thru an entire bag of diapers in 24 hours. My baby had NEVER had a diaper rash and now he is sooo red ..and still throwing up everything he drinks. well by night time, around Tyler's eyes had turned Dark and began to sink in like he was dehydrating again, so i loaded him up and took him back to the ER. He had a temp when we got there so they gave him Tylenol, and we waited for the dr. and i gave the dr the log that i had been keeping of him throwing up and diaper changes, and he looked at me and said.." Your child looks clinicly well to have had all the episodes you say he has had" OMG like im lying or something.. I was so ready to go at that point and just watch him til the next morning when i could take him to see his dr. so they watched him a while and of course he had about 3 or 4 diaper changes in the hour we were there. finally they let us go and told us to take him to his dr the next morning.. they didnt check him for dehydration or anything.. i was soo mad!! we just watched him close and made him drink til the next morning "even if it made him throw up".
Jan.8th Well we get up and take him to the dr at 11:30 and Tyler looks so bad.. We get there and Dr nagel said he is about 3% Dehydrated and for us to keep pumping him with fluids and bring him back the next day.. well after we left the dr we kept giving him pedialyte and only like an ounce at a time. and he didnt throw up anymore. and by that night he started looking so much better. by the next day Jan 9th He was playing again.. Im soo happy my baby is over this virus. i was so afraid he was going to end up being hospitalized for this. he looked that bad. Thank God it's OVER!!
Now maybe we can START our New Year off BETTER :)
