Poor Kai!

Well Kai has had a rough go of things for the past week. Last Sunday he developed a rash that quickly spread all over his body, it looked horrible. I called the Healthline and they said that if he seemed fine otherwise that I could wait and take him in the next day (Thanksgiving Monday real convenient) which was good because the idea of driving to the ER on a Sunday night of a long weekend in a snow storm was definitely not appealing. Well by the next morning the rash was still there but had faded a bit so I decided to wait and see how he was when I was done work. Well by that time it was completely gone, so I assumed it must have just been a food or detergent reaction. Well come Tuesday morning I get a call from his dad telling me that he just talked to the daycare and was told that Kai had diarrhea and he couldn't come back to the daycare for at least 24 hours. So I made him a doctors appt and his dad took him in. By this point the rash was gone so there really wasn't much they could do. They said just to keep him hydrated and avoid dairy and sugary things for 24 hours. So by the next day he seemed to be fine yet again. Until last night I hear him crying at about 3am so I go into his room to discover that he has thrown up all over (oh the joys of parenting). I get him and his bedding all cleaned up and bring him into my bed with a bottle of water. He seemed fine after that so I took him back into his room, put him in his crib and uh oh back came the water. So after about an hour he was finally back asleep, I wasn't for a good hour after that. Come this morning he seemed fine, but has been quite moody and not eating very much all day. So who knows I guess we will see what tonight/tomorrow brings!

I am sure you all enjoyed reading that!
