Cameorn continued to not feel well yesterday. He woke up covered in puke! I felt so bad, he had thrown up all over his crib...I knew he was coughing, but didn't know he threw up during his coughing spells. He continued to throw up and have diarrhea throughout the day yesterday. I called the Dr. in the afternoon and they told me he probably had some type of stomach virus and just to wait it out. He was so miserable yesterday afternoon and evening. Thankfully he slept through the night, but was coughing persistently, even after several treatments.
This morning wasn't much better with the coughing. I'm always scared because of his sensitive lungs that a simple cough can develop into something more severe since he has had pneumonia. So just to be on the safe side we went to the Dr. I brought M&M's because I knew the Dr. would have a hard time listening to him breathe without some type of treat. It worked...and thankfully his lungs sound good despite his horrible cough. YEAH! So just some sort of virus...he had a low grade fever, but no worries. Just needs lots of rest!
We've talked about his weight in the past, but the Dr. wants to see us back in 2 weeks to just talk about that. Cameron was only 22 lbs. today...he had lost 2 lbs. since his last appt. a couple of weeks ago. There's no doubt in my mind it was because he hasn't had anything in almost 2 days! I'm going to feed him when he wakes up...hopefully he has an appetite and it stays down! But the Dr. said that Cameron is no longer on "the curve" whatever that means. I know he is little, but we need to fatten him up a bit. The Dr. seemed concerned, I hope everything is ok with our "little peanut". The Dr. did say in the mean time to make sure that he is drinking at least 20 oz. of whole milk a day (even if I have to add chocolate syrup)! Cameron drinks very little milk everyday, probably around 5 oz. and still warm in a bottle. Just doesn't like it much. I've even tried the Horizon vanilla milk, it is so sweet...that works a little better than regular milk, but still not that interested. He does like yogurt a lot, so that was always my justification for the lack of milk intake...but that has to change! He suggested buying a fun cup just for milk. So a "Lightning McQueen" cup might help along with some chocolate! So we will go back on 11/23 to address his weight and development.
