Jacob Update

So, Jacob spent the weekend with a nasty fever, (up to 104.5 underarm), and sleeping life away.  He would wake up to drink a little, and go back to sleep.  

I took him in yesterday, and they found he had a UTI, and gave him some antibiotics.  So he's been throwing them up instantly.  So he had to go back today.  

Turns out, he's lost two pounds since yesterday.  He was actually alert today, which is the only reason they didn't instantly hospitalize him.  They gave him a nice shot in the butt.  

So if he loses more, it's the hospital.  If he doesn't .... we get to keep him home.  Hopefully he'll start feeling better.  

He actually ate two bites of a hamburger today, half a slice of apple, and half a strawberry.  This may not seem like a lot, but that was more than everything he's eaten all together since Friday morning!  

So here's hoping!  We'll see how things are looking tomorrow at two thirty in the afternoon!

Hope you little one gets better. A sick kid is no fun... He looked like he just wanted to cuddle.
