[SIZE=12pt]OK, so we got home from Texas LAST Monday. Steve was at home and was sick...had been for a few days. Zac and I were sick within 2 days. Zac was vomiting over and over...mine is respiratory (as is Steve's). Mia is STILL well thank goodness! I finally went to the Doctor last Friday. Zac had been vomiting since Tuesday, but the Doc's office had said not to give him aything for the vomiting, just to try to keep him hydrated. I am SO glad he's still nursing!!![/SIZE]
At the Doc's we were diagnosed with Adenovirus, which I guess can take many forms, including respiratory or GI. Since I'm an athsmatic, he prescribed anitbiotics just in case I got more sick over the weekend (viruses tend to go right into bronchitis with me). Poor Zac had dropped from 27 lbs to 22.5 ls!!! BUT, he was very well hydrated (Doc was surprised), but not wanting to eat had really affected him. The Doc said to offer him whatever he wants to eat and nurse, nurse, nurse. I started the Z-pack on Saturday. Zac was down to vomiting only once a day (including ALL over himself and his carseat yesterday-poor baby) Sunday & Monday and it looks this AM like his appetite is starting to come back a bit. Hopefully, he is on the mend.
I however, am sicker than I ever remember being
I'm going back to the Doc this afternoon. I'm using my rescue inhaler several times a day. I usually only use it once a MONTH! My coughing spasms are pretty uncontrollable (Mucinex during the day/cough med. at night). Once I get started I double over and just can't stop. My nose is raw from blowing and my head's about to explode...ugh!! Zac was bouncing all over the bed last night at bedtime and I literally didn't feel like I could move...I did when he tried to leap over me though
I'm so glad he's feeling better.
Okay, my pity party is over. I just feel like CACA! Any others out there with experience with this bug from hades?
