The Flu

Friday afternoon, I noticed that Kiernan was being extra fussy. When we went out to dinner he normally sits in the chair and laughs and plays. He was not having any of the dinner. He wouldn't even laugh for his cousins. As I was doing my normal bedtime routine KK threw up all over us. Hmmmm.... I decided to put us in the bath and do the whole routine over again. As I was putting him in his crib.... throw up again. UGH!!! Finally I gave up and just changed him and let him be. He was very whinny and wanted to be held. Something was not right. This began an extremely long night of him on my chest. In the morning I got him a doctor's appointment. KK had the flu!! She said I needed to watch him very carefully because babies die from the flu..... HELLLLOOOO...Way to freak me out. I got home and began trying to nurse him back to health. Bill and I stayed home ALL weekend and cared for him. So exhausting. He had another bad night on Saturday on my chest. I already have a bad back but two nights sitting up with a baby sent me body into trauma. By Sunday night we decided to try formula and food again. He kept it down and only woke up at 2:00am on Sunday night. I am thinking he is on his way back to being healthy again. He was face planted on me all weekend.

Poor guy. Excuse my picture we literally stayed in our PJs all weekend long!
