Poor Colin :(
Colin has a stomach virus. He started throwing up last night around 8p.m. and puked about every 30 minutes until 5 a.m., at which time he decided it would be fun to get up for the day! Neither Chris nor I got any sleep at all, aside from a mere 20 minutes here and there. Colin finally went back to sleep around 9:30 a.m. after emptying his stomach (again) all over me, the wall, the floor, himself…you get the idea. Then he went all day without throwing up…until bed time. The poor guy can’t go to sleep without nursing, but I nursed him too long. His little belly couldn’t handle it, and up it all came. I did keep him quite hydrated today with 1 minute nursings ever 20ish minutes and a few sips of water and Ultima. And his fever finally broke this evening.
So on around Friday night or Saturday, you’ll hear me doing the death moan as I’m sure I’m next in line.
I know, I know…he’s smiling. But look at those cheeks! He gets flaming red cheeks every time he runs a fever. It’s like a rash secondary to the virus.

Colin says “Merry Christmas, Mom, here’s a nice stomach virus for you!” Look at those cheeks! L’s are red, too, but I thought it was just from the cold…now we’re thinking allergy. Must do elimination diet = no fun!

Poor little man, I hope he is all better now.
