we are on the road to recovery!

Thanks for any and all prayers for Jake...he is doing better this afternoon=)

This morning he climbed in to our bed around 730am (late for him) and was sleeping when I woke up around 830am (VERY unusual for him...he is usually hopping all around if we are still in bed at this time!) He did NOT want to get up, so I got up and started to get dressed for his doctors appointment at 10am. I went outside to let the dog out and when I returned I heard him crying....then vomiting....all over Mike's pillow!!!

Sooooo, once I scooped him up and cleaned up the mess he started requesting beakfast. I gave him 2 sips of water and 1/4 of a club cracker and he vomited again=( Needless to say he was quite upset about this, as he was starving (he had only had Jello and a popsicle for dinner last night).

No temperature though.

So off we head to the doctor. As I am unbuckling his seat belt, he starts crying. I knew it was coming but was not fast enough. He vomited all over himself, his seat and the floor. Thank goodness his blankie caught most of it=(

Once inside the doctors office, she checked him out and ran a strep test (by the way...he was 28lbs and 37" tall). The test was negative for strep. So she chalked it up to tonsillitis and a stomach virus combo....yummy!!!

Unfortunately for my baby, he had to have a shot of Rocephin (which has caused some temporary resolve from the vomiting and fever) and a Zofran tablet (also for vomiting). He about freaked out during the injection and kicked his pregnant nurse in the belly!!!!!!!!! He recovered quickly though and is already feeling much better. I think I am taking the night off of work again tonight to make sure he fully recovers before our trip this weekend.

Thanks for thinking about us...aren't you glad you checked in?!?!?!?
