We are on day 8 of the stomach bug.
And let me tell you, it’s not pretty.
Little man has had diarrhea the whole time.
I know, it’s gross.
Believe me – I’m the one changing the diapers.
But, I feel terrible.
Because there is nothing we can do but wait for it to pass.
He went to the doctor two days ago and they said just to keep him comfortable, have him rest, and monitor his liquids so he doesn’t get dehydrated. So we’ve been doing all of those things – and the #2’s haven’t stopped. His diaper rash is terrible. And he cries each time I change him. It’s gotten to the point where we can no longer use wipes – because they irritate his skin to much and burn. Talk about sad! Most days he can’t sleep unless I am holding him, or snuggling him. And we’ve been giving him tylenol to keep his headaches at bay (from loosing electrolytes).
Today he goes back to the doctor – and hopefully they can tell us- or give us
some other plan of action because what we are doing is not working. While we wait (he has a late appointment) we’ll take oatmeal baths, drink lots of water & soy milk (dairy is making it worse) and relax. Luckily I have very understanding employers, very understanding. So I am extremely lucky for that because Wyatt and I have been attached at the hip 24-7.
If you have any tips – or have been through a similar situation – I’d love your advice!
Anything you think could help little man (and his raw tush).
