luke puked and pooped all day yesterday.
at one point i changed 4 diapers in 15 minutes.

he is really dehydrated and still refusing to eat.
he will drink water, milk, and a tiny bit of pedialyte…but about half the amount he would normally, before pushing it away.

i don’t know how to get him eating again.
his stomach is like, sunken. we had to give him a bath first thing this morning because he woke up absolutely covered in poo. from his shoulders to his feet. it was terrible. i remember thinking he looked so tiny in the tub….skinny, even. just from one day of not eating.

about an hour after that, it hit me. aaand now it’s my turn for all of this.
i just napped for 2 hours and felt hungry, so i decided to take it easy and try tea and toast.
this has the potential to make me puke, but i feel so hungry so i’m risking it.

it’s the first week of february, and already our 2nd time being sick.
luke just finished his antibiotics this past week. he didn’t even make it through the week before coming down with the next thing. 
tell me why we moved back to buffalo again??

luke is still pooping like crazy. his butt is so red that he’s in hysterics every time we have to change his diaper. i keep hearing him cry while matt & my mom struggle to take care of him today and i’m so sick to my stomach i can’t sit upright for more than 5 minutes, let alone pick him up or do anything to help. it’s breaking my heart hearing his cries. it’s been….45 hours since his first puke, and he doesn’t seem to be getting any better. it’s only been 10 hours for me. i feel pretty doomed. it’s almost a good thing that i’m so sick and can’t move because i’ve been freaking out over the lack of food and liquids going into his system….it’s almost better that i’m not witnessing it up close. i know my mom has been trying really hard to force down everything she can think of, and he is receptive to most things at first….but ends up swatting everything away after an ounce or two. 

this blows.

i think i feel better? It’s been about 24 hours for me. i slept a lot…..the only time i felt okay is when i was sleeping, so i tried to do that as much as possible. yesterday was torture. it’s early….i’ve only been up for a half hour and i think it’s probably too early to say i’m okay, but i’m eating toast and it’s not making me feel totally horrible. i feel extremely weak. but i guess that’s what a day of zero food does to you.

luke is STILL puking and pooping. STILL!!! it’s in a lot less quantities and frequencies (although he just threw up like 5 mins ago, and pooped about an hour ago), and his mood seems a lot better. but whether that’s because he’s getting better or because he’s just getting used to feeling like this and dealing with all that comes with it, i don’t know. my mom caked on the desitin last night so his bum seems a touch better today.

now it’s tim’s turn. my  mom said he was up puking violently all night. my mom and matt seem to be fine, still….thank goodness. i’m not near ready to take luke on by myself, their help has been such a blessing.

he puked again. it’s now been….60 hours since his first puke. it seems like every time we get something down, it comes back up (or out, since it’s going both ways still). he doesn’t have a fever, and between "episodes" he’s acting fairly normal….but i’m starting to freak out. his belly is like…..HUGE now. the opposite from yesterday. and it’s a little scary since i KNOW nothing is in there….i don’t know what that means. i called his doctor. well, their off-hours hotline thing, anyway. i’m waiting for a call back. if i get another "just keep doing what you’re doing" response from them, i’m going to scream.
