Update on Andrew's illness...

Well, I just wanted to give a update on Andrew. Today is Saturday and this is the first day since Monday, he has not had diarrhea, fever OR vomitting..........HOWEVER.......he did have 3 large GREEN "Guacamole" looking diapers! I did not know if that was a good thing or not so I looked online and I read that it is his BILE! This happens when babies do not eat very much and have no food in their stomach. I have not decided if this is a good or bad thing. Good, because he does not have horrible runny diarrhea like he has had continuously since Wednesday after the doctor's visit, even with the Children's Imodium. We are talking "pure water" diarrhea. But bad because it is his BILE! Online where I was reading it says to go ahead and feed them what ever they want as long as they are eating. So, tonight he had 2 bites of chicken and a good helping of mashed potatoes that I made. He has been really weak, taking REALLY REALLY long naps and sleeping really late & not up running around very much, but hey what do you expect after having this for 6 days. Tomorrow is Sunday and we started a new lesson in Sunday School last Sunday called "Fireproofing your Marriage". It is based on the movie "Fireproof" with Kirk Cameron. It is about the differences in husbands and wives. I strongly advise you and your spouse to see this movie if you have not. It is REALLY worth it! I think it comes out on DVD on the 27th, so at least try to rent it! I really hate to miss tomorrow's lesson, but there is no way that Andrew needs to get out and of course, my children come FIRST! My doctor did give him an antibiotic to start taking because he said his immune system will be down after all this, but I have not started giving it to him because...it of course.........causes diarrhea! I am so ready for that poor little guy to be up and going again! There is nothing worse than seeing your children sick. Not to mention, I am about to go stir crazy staying at home. However, I have got alot of organizing (more on that later!!!) and cleaning done! Our house smells like a Lysol and bleach factory! Heath went to the OKC & DFW auto auction and his normal Wednesday night Poker group, so on Thursday night, I took a shower and I told him I was leaving to go to Wal-mart. He wanted to know what I could possibly need since he has gone 3 times for me this week. What do I need.........I need sanity!!! I need to get out to go anywhere....I don't care as long as I get out. Well, Kelsey and I did go to Wal-mart and I guess I did need something, because I spent $155! :) Anyway, thanks for all the prayers & thoughts of us during this illness with him. We are still keeping our fingers crossed that we do not come down with this, especially since the kids go back to school on Monday.
