Poor Connor…

Sunday morning (1:30am) I awoke because I heard Connor vomiting in his crib.   It was just a little bit of mucus but this was my first experience (let alone his first experience) of vomit from Connor (other than the normal spit ups).  I put him back to bed but was soon awoken again because he was vomiting for a 2nd time.  This time we had to change the sheets and his clothes.

We decided to bring Connor into bed with us (we put a towel down to protect us and our sheets).  He was fine and soon fell asleep.  I moved him into his pack-n-play that we still have at the foot of our bed so I could keep a close eye (ear) on him.  All was fine the rest of the morning.

If you are eating or have a sensitive stomach, you might not want to read any further…

Connor did not eat too much for breakfast and soon had a severe blow out of diarrhea.  So bad that it took two of us to change him and I took him directly to the bathtub for a bath.

Connor was acting normal and was not running a temperature but just would not eat like normal.  We tried to keep him hydrated (with pedialyte) as best we could.  After a few more diaper changes…the last one started to look better (relatively speaking).  I took him downstairs after the “it is looking better” diaper change and Connor vomited on me and his highchair.  I was kind of holding him in one hand, had vomit on my shirt and shorts, and was holding a handful of vomit in the other hand.  Something told me this was not all he was going to let out so, I quickly made a move for the sink (about 6 feet away).  I made it and that is when Connor went “Exorcist” on me — projectile vomiting into the sink. Poor Connor.

Anyways, I called the doctor and they said since he is not lethargic, is acting pretty normal, does not appear to be dehydrated, and is not running a fever that this will just need to run its course.  We bought him some lactose free formula (soy based) and more pedialyte.  He drank a fair amount of pedialyte this evening and about 2 ounces of the lactose free formula.  He is in bed now and seems to be doing alright.  Hopefully our little man will start to feel better soon.
