Sick :(

So I was feeding Koleton his dinner tonight.  Carrots and Turkey w/Rice.  Both he has had before, in fact, they were left over from his lunch feeding. (Refrigerated right after I scooped half into his bowls). On his next to last bite he made a face and everything he had just eaten (or so I thought anyway) came up.  I was kind of freaked. I mean the kid has spit up before, even to where I thought it was puking moreso than spit up. Nothing compared to tonight! It was hardcore, I really dont feel good, vomiting.  Poor kid :( I thought he had gotten everything out of his system so I went and changed his clothes, changed mine and put him in his bouncy seat.  He didn't have a fever so I wasn't TOO worried.  He seemed fine, was playing with his feet chatting away lol I was trying to put him to sleep, so I made him a bottle.  Halfway through he started heaving again and more puking :( He threw up 3 more times in a half hour. I, of course, came to look online to see what we should do! It said if there wasn't a fever not to worry, but also that if it was vomiting with real force to go to the doctor.  Well I thought, he doesn't feel warm, is acting mostly normal, I dont want to rush him to the ER.

I have heard of nurse hotlines.  So I searched and found the Medicaid hotline. Brad called them and basically the nurse said if he gets a fever to take him to the ER, or if he starts acting really out of it.  She said to give him 1oz of formula, wait 10 minutes. If he keeps it down, give him another ounce and keep doing that til he gets the normal amount of formula. If he can't keep it down, start giving him Pedialyte.  Well Brad went to the store to get Pedialyte and I gave Koleton his bedtime bath and made him a 1oz bottle.  He was trying to get at that bottle as soon as it was in my hands! He ate the ounce and fell asleep.  He slept for over an hour, and when I went in to check on him he was laying there on his back staring at me. It was kind of weird, but I think I just caught him in a half awake, about to roll over state.  I got him, checked his temp and it was 96 under his arm, so no fever still. But he was dry heaving when I picked him up and was walking him out to the living room :( I made him another 1 oz bottle and he drank it and fell asleep again.  While I was still holding him he started making the throw up motions with his body so I kind of moved him and it looked like he had just swallowed it again (gross I know, but he's a baby and does it all the time lol)

Brad pulled out his pack'n'play to the living room and I am going to sleep out here with him. I just checked him and no fever still.  Hopefully it was just something he ate, but I dont know what he would have eaten that would upset his stomach since he has eaten everything he had today before! Nothing was old or left out open.  I am going to make him an appointment with his doctor tomorrow just to make sure everything is ok. Hopefully he is!!! Gonna keep an eye on him til I can get him in though!
