Despite his flu vaccine, Cade was diagnosed with the flu on Tues. afternoon. It has been AWFUL to watch a little baby be so sick! He's had fevers ranging from 102-105, been to the dr. and urgent care because of racing heartbeat (due to dehydration), not eating, not drinking, throwing up...terrible! We feel so helpless, because all we can do for a baby with the flu is give him Motrin or Tylenol about every 3 hours. We were told to keep him hydrated, so I've been so worried because he has not been interested in drinking or eating for several days! We've just been giving him a lot of TLC. Lots of snuggle time. Brian and I are taking Tamiflu ourselves as a preventative measure. Yesterday we got him to chew on some cut up pieces of popsicle, so that was exciting. But...today Mommy got Cade to take almost a whole bottle AND he ate cereal & fruit this morning...victory! He's still not himself, but I think we're on the road to recovery. Our happy, active baby boy is coming back! Yeah!
