Good News and Bad News this Week

Let's start with the good news...Jake slept through the night for the first time Monday night!!!!! I have been waiting for this for 11 weeks! I put him down at 9pm after 1/2 a bottle and he woke up at 6am!!He woke up smiling and "talking"! He did the same thing last night...hopefully he has this sleeping thing figured out!


The bad news is Sam started throwing up an hour after Jake went to sleep Monday night...his fever got to 105 yesterday so I took him to the doctor. After having a Strep test, Flu test, figure prick, and chest x-ray they determined it was just a stomach bug and to give him plenty of fluids. They ran all those test so they could rule everything else out since we have a baby at home but poor Sam! He was such a trooper through it all. He did not once complain or cry. He just sat their with his bowl in his hands (he thought he might get sick again so he carried his bowl with him) and just said yes or no to the doctor/nurse. We are having a hard time getting him to drink anything so keep your fingers crossed he does not get dehydrated! He did not throw up again until this morning about 4am and again at 6am. His fever has gone down but is still high. He has been camped out on the couch for 2 days which also shows just how bad he feels because he has not once called anyone a "gooberhead" or "crazyhead"...It's just him and Diego!
