UPDATE !!!!!

Soooo!!! Friday turned out to be alot worse !!! We ended up going to the Hospital friday night for Jacob's then 102 fever and lethargy. We got admitted for Gastrointestinal Influenza. YEAH!!! POOR Jakers got poked and probed all night long. He was exhausted as was I. Unfortunately Daddy was at a game 1hr 30min away so he didn't know for sure if we were in the hospital or not. We were in the contagious ward so I wasn't aloud to leave the room unless he had a family member with him. I finally got him collect on his cell phone. He got to the hospital around 2 am and consoled his ailing family. Jacob's poor little tummy, was so tootie and poopie!!! All day yesterday. He could have gone home but he refused to drink the pedialyte or anything like that only water !!! The little bugger. So we stayed again lastnight. He conveniently pulled out his IV at 300am and fell back to sleep and woke up thirsty this morning and begrudgingly drank some milk with the pedialyte in it. Yeah!! He drank about 2 ounces of the stuff. He was also a little monkey in a cage, shaking the bars and wanting to go walk around. So clearly he was feeling alot better. The Doc gave me the okay that he could go home. But to continue with the fluids and warned that he could get dehydrated again and that he might have to go back if he won't drink his pedialyte. Arrgh. We sure don't want that. So as of right now he's drinking sips at a time mind you but he's drinking and he's eating. He also is having a nap. So fingers crossed everyone !!!! Will keep you updated!!!

Thank goodness he's better. You should buy some pedialyte popsicles or juice popsicles. The pedialyte would be better. Mommy and Daddy must be exhaused. Don't forget about the time change today.

the pedialyte popsicles/freezies sound like a great idea!
