Evening update

The good news is Henry is still urinating. He kept his evening antibiotic down for about an hour and a half. He is generally alert and even playful at times.

The bad news is after he took his antibiotic, he started refusing all liquids. No Pedialyte, no formula, no water, no Gatorade. In other words, none of the doctor-approved beverages. He is still vomiting periodically. He has been vomiting off and on now for 36 hours. Today the most substantial thing he has had was a total of 60 ml of formula. Translation for non-metric fluent people: 60 ml is about 2 ounces. He didn't keep all of that down.

He is sleeping now and we will try giving him Pedialyte throughout the night. We will call the doctor in the morning and find out what to do based on what things look like then.

Somehow, he manages to be in good spirits still. He is a sweetie. A very sick sweetie.

man Amy! I have been thinking about you guys ever since I read your first post. You are seriously living my biggest nightmare! THIRTY-SIX hours! I can pretty much guarantee I would have passed out by now if I was you. Poor little Henry! I hope he sleeps tonight and wakes up healthy! keep us updated.

Funny, it has made me think of you a lot too :)

Since he has stopped eating, it's not so bad really, in terms of the vomit itself at least.
