Ryan and I made a trip to the Pediatrician's office today. He is really just so great to us. Did I tell you that he called us last night at 9.30 and at 10 pm just to check on Ryan? He was obviously worried, as I am as well.
The vomiting continued today. Not as frequently as on Sunday, and it doesn't seem to distress his body as much. He continues to stay awake after vomiting and seems to be alert. He had only vomited once today when we met with the Pediatrician. The plan then was to nurse as frequently as Ryan wanted followed by as much Pedialyte as he'd take. Assuming he didn't vomit more than once in 24 hours, we were then going to introduce Neocate, which is a formula void of any cow's milk ingredients. It is made from amino acids, and provides all the nutritional support he might need. We had planned that if he vomited more than once, we'd simply back up a step.
So, since he has continued to vomit, it looks like we're back to square one. The big challenge is to be sure he doesn't become dehydrated again.
Maybe some day Ryan will be running around the house creating absolute chaos, and perhaps I'll think back to this day and wonder why I didn't enjoy the quiet times more.
