So my baby got sick. We are not sure what the cause was but Liam was so
sick. I think his poor little body just ended up getting too hot from
playing too hard in the hot and humid weather. He ended up getting a
really high fever over 102 degrees F. He was having trouble sleeping,
throwing up and would just cry a lot. All he would eat were Popsicles
and screamed when we would try to give him Tylenol. I was lucky to have
good friends help me to know what to do. I had the A/C blowing on him
but found out it would just give him the chills. What ended up working
for him was a cold wash cloth (that he hated) and just a normal fan
blowing on him. I am just thankful it wasn't dengue fever.
Liam sleeping on the couch. Even when he heard Remy next door he just stayed there and didnt move. That's when I KNEW he was sick for sure!
We are so lucky to have such good neighbors. Since
Liam was sick and couldn't play Remy, the neighbor girl, brought over
some silly putty for Liam to play with. He had so much fun playing with
it but mostly he loved throwing it on the floor. Thanks Remy!
Not even a week later Liam ended up getting sick
again. He wasnt eating dinner so when he started playing the iPad, I
started giving him bites and he was eating. Not long after he got sick.
Throwing up, diarrhea and fever again. He sat on my lap in the shower
gagging and throwing up and diarrhea. And crying every time he had the
urge to throw up. It was the saddest thing ever. All he wanted to do was
cuddle and I took full advantage of my cuddly little boy.
I think he is a little bit skinnier in these photos from not having any food in his tummy!
I am so thankful that Liam is not sick anymore and for all the love and help people gave us when he was. We are so lucky to have such good friends and family!
