The Poo man is sick, sick, sick! As in my last post, he began throwing up Tues. night. Well, he hsn’t stopped.
I took him in to the doctors today. Of course Dr. B wasn’t in, so we say Dr. J. He looked him over, saw yet another ear infection, or perhaps it’s the same one we have been treating for the last month with two different antibiotics. He told me to pick up some Lactobac (something like that) from the pharmacy when I picked up his NEW prescription for his ear. I am to try that and if he isn’t any better, he’ll probably have to get admitted to the hospital for IV meds.
Well, the pharmacist refused to sell this Lactosomething to me, because it was adult doses. She had me call the doctor and get clarified if PooWee should take 1/4 of the tablet or what. Dr. J’s nurseĀ got back to me and said this lactosomething does not show dosing for lil guys, so I am to just keep a close eye on PooWee for now. (HHMMM-why did he look this up before? He’s such a dork.)
I’m thinking of calling Dr. R who is on call. PooWee had only had one wet diaper today. He’s doing nohing but nursing every 20 minute! I almost just want him to get the IV meds and get him better. BUT, I don’t want my PooWee in the hospital and getting poked with needles and being all freaked out with the strange place.
He hasn’t thrown up since about 5 this morning, but that’s the way it has been all week. He’s throwing up at night and in the morning. (Maybe he likes fresh sheets every few hours?) BUT, he’s “urpy”, ya know the juicey burps. It’s almost as if it brewing, getting ready to come out.
Right now he’s rocking with Eli and watching Sesame Street Silly Songs. A lil break for me! I have 1hr 30 min before the Walk In closes, figure I’ll give Dr. R a call shortly and see if we should head in there.
Mom’s planning on taking PooWee tomorrow. (If he’s not admitted tonight.) She’s only 5 min. from the hospital, so I can run there if she needs me to.
I’m kinda freaked if he does get admitted. I’m sure there will be comments about what a horrible mother I am, for my babes being so sick. I know I will put him at Privacy status, so if too much is known by my co-workers I wil be protected. Technically, they should know NOTHING of him. If even one person asks how he is, I will know someone said something. Just let someone try looking up his chart in the computer!!!
OK- I think it’s time to call Dr. R. Please send some HEALTHY VIBES for PooWee man. I want my happy wild lil man back!
Oh–April has been having contractions today, I guess! Chad told all his teachers his phone was on because he may have to leave. It’s 7 pm – No baby girl yet!!! She is still at home. Wonder if it’ll be this weekend!

Poor little PooWee–hope he can avoid a hospital stay.
Wow, I can’t believe April and Chad’s little baby is ready to be born already! Time flies.

Prayers for Little Poo-Man and for you. Do you think he might have rotavirus or norovirus? When Bean got rotavirus it was like 1 week of miserable hell followed by 1 week of slightly less nightmarish hell as he pooped and barfed his way through every blanket he owned.
The only thing to do was hydrate. Have you tried some pedialyte pops or watered down Gatorade?
Hugs! Hoping PooWee improves soon.
