Let's start at the beginning.

January 23rd - Tom came home sick from work. He ended up vomiting and spent the day and night in bed sleeping.
January 24th - I got sick as did Owen. Owen just wasn't up to par and I ended up vomiting and slept most of the 2nd half of the day.
January 25th - recouping day
January 27th - brought Hunter to the doctor and had a 9.5 (out of 10) ear infection. He started Amoxi chewables.
January 30th - Owen still runs a fever off and on and tugs at his ears and puked all over dad.
January 31st - Own went to the doctor. He had a double ear infection. Started Omnicef. Threw up that night.
February 1st - About 9 liquidy poopie diapers. Throw up again at night.
February 2nd - not eating much, still liquidy poo, and threw up at night.
February 3rd - threw up at lunch-time. Went back to doctor. Still has fluid in ears but not infected. Stopped Omnicef. Throw up at night.
February 4th - eat a little better. last meal was at 5:30 (1 jar baby food and a little dessert). Bed at 7:15 and he grew up at 11:30 and then again a few more times later. 1 poopie diaper for the day - liquidy but a little more slid then total liquid).
February 5th - Feet 7 lips cyanotic in the morning. Cyanotic feet all day (not super blue just bluish). NOt eating his normal self. I poopie diaper of A LOT of very soft/liquidy poo.

Called the nurse-line at his pediatrician on the 5th (today). She said it must be a nasty bug and her suggestions were:
Eat no later then 2 hours before he goes to bed. Make it light food like pasta, jello... Offer him stuff like the Gerber Fruit water.
Watch the cyanosis. If it gets worse, or he is lethargic or starts coughing call. he might has aspirated some of the vomit.

I explained how he just isn't himself.. I know my son and there is something amiss.... hopefully it goes away or they figure it out soon. I miss my Happy Owen!

So THAT is why I haven't' posted much.... too much sickness around here. I haven't been at the computer much!
