Update

So today is day 6 for Cameron to have the FLU!! I feel so bad for him. We went to the doctor yesterday (day 5) because I was sick of them telling me it was normal for him to still be throwing up and having diarrhea. He was so lethargic and misserable I wanted to know if he was dehydrated. He had lost 2 pounds. I felt so bad for him. It's so sad to see a little kid throw up and be in pain. The worst was he would throw up almost every hour, even while he was sleeping. So he would wake up at 1 am, 3 am & 5 am crying with throw up all over everywhere. We would change him, wash him off, start a load of laundry, put new sheets on his mattress and try to get him back to sleep again. Anyway, he seems to be on the mend...he only threw up once around 3 this morning and his diarrhea is much better. Hopefully he won't lose anymore weight because the next thing we would have to do is take him in for an IV. Cameron is such a trooper and a good kid. He still trys to be happy and smile even though he has no strength. Even though it has been so sad the last 6 days, I have enjoyed holding him and how he cuddles with me and falls asleep on me. I am thankful for Jeremy and how good he is to help! It's not much fun dealing with a sick kid at 2 am! I am lucky to have 2 wonderful boys in my life :) Oh great...I spoke too soon, Cameron just threw up in his crib. At least it's 10:30 and I am already awake. It's much easier to clean him up, change sheets and start wash when I am alert! I hope he gets better...I don't think the flu lasts 6 days??!! PS I didn't post any pictures of his barf or diarreha because of the hate mail I received after posting that picture of his blow out at church ;)
