Boo Stomach Bug!

It's been a rough week! Tucker came down with the stomach bug Wednesday...with fever and throwing up... and it lingered until Friday. It was so different for him to be older while sick since he could communicate how he was feeling more. He must have said "seepy tired" ten times a day :( He slept a lot, watched A LOT of TV, and ate very little. We had lots of Mommy-Tucker time on the couch, which is probably what made me come down with the nasty bug last night! Oh.My.Gosh. it was awful! Who doesn't hate throwing up...but while you're pregnant? I really thought I would never get better... After several "incidents", I finally called the nurse and she was my hero when she said she would call in Zofran for me around midnight. And it worked! After the anti-nausea meds and a whole day of taking it easy, I feel like a different person tonight. We're hoping we've seen the worst of it and that Brad doesn't catch it, of course!

Here's to a better week!

UPDATE

Thanks for your prayers! What I really want to say is uuuuuuuurrrrrrrgggghhhhhhh! There really just isn't a lot to report. The Dr. said that the fact that the fever has gone on this long and no other real symptoms have shown up actually is a good indicator that it's probably not a really bad infection/virus, etc. For example, if it was pneumonia, eventually he would start coughing or having a hard time breathing. He also said that the longer a fever of no orgin goes on, the less likely you will be to find out the cause. Isn't that just great news (sarcasm)? So, I guess this should make me not worry as much about it being so serious but I still want the fevers to go away! He did not want to do any further testing today based on his lab results Friday and Tucker's general demeanor that seems pretty healthy. He wants us to keep documenting the fevers and we will follow up on Monday with him...if he is still having the fevers, we will probably go back in and I guess they may do more tests at that point. The one thing they did do was get a urine sample to make sure it's not a UTI...they had to use a catheter so that was NOT FUN!

Please pray that the fevers go away and that Tucker's body will return to complete health! I am really thankful to have not found out any BAD news. Pray for patience for us as we "wait it out"...that's never fun!

Thanks!
