Stomach flu

Happy Friday, folks. Cam has been down for the count since about 2pm yesterday with a bout of what we *think* is stomach flu (at least one other kid from daycare, possible three, went home sick the day before - no one told us!). Poor kid was barfing and dry heaving until about 6:30pm, then finally fell asleep for a few hours. We spent from 10pm to 1am trying to get (and keep!) some Pedialyte in him, starting with a teaspoon every 5 mins and working our way up to 2 oz every 15 mins. Cam was thirsty and hungry at 10pm - the teaspoon was NOT working for him.

Around 12:30am he started to act like himself. He slept from 1am - 7am, although we checked on him every couple of hours to make sure he was ok. So far today, he's in good spirits, although very tired. He's been getting a little formula, banana and bagels, and will go down for his lunch nap shortly. Doc say there could be some diarrhea next, so we're keeping an eye out - that will probably be hard to miss!

All I will say is freakin' daycare....
