We have had a rough week at our house lately. Brighton was sick with a cold last week. He stayed at home on Thursday and Friday to recover. We are used to him catching these things though. He has a runny nose these days more than not! Unfortunately, he passed what he had along to Baylor. Baylor has had a MUCH harder time with it. He hasn't been able to breathe, and because of his fever, and inability to sleep while stopped up, we had to remove his band for a few days, once again setting us back with that! If all of that weren't bad enough, the virus has made his already bad projectile vomiting even worse. He was not keeping anything down and then just stopped trying to eat all together. So, not only did we go to the specialty Dr. this week, we also went to the pediatrician. There was nothing they could do but tell us to let it run it's course. They did say that due to his cold, his vomiting was worse but at this age he should not be vomiting as much as he does and recommended a new, very pricey formula.
Yesterday was his 1st smile since Saturday. He started doing a lot better last night. Since he is eating again, I am trying to gradually introduce the new formula to him. He seems to take it well now, mixed half and half with his other one. As soon as I feel he is 100% feeling better and can breathe well, I will try to give it to him straight up. I really hope this helps! The projectile thing has been so stressful on POOR Baylor, Jason and I as well as our furniture (We are having it all steam cleaned soon!). I am hoping that he will start eating solids soon. Dr. recommended that we start trying a month ago, but he just spits everything out!
Even though he has not felt well, Baylor has been trying hard to roll over and sit up.
You can't really tell from this picture, but he is sitting up in his swing. Don't worry, he is strapped in!!
Once again, we are starting over with wearing the band.
