Total breakdown!!!

This has been a week that I will never forget!! So we have made to Kentucky and it has been a roller coaster I haven't even had time to post any updates.

We found a place! This is very exciting. We move in a couple of weeks when Scott and my dad can bring my/our stuff down. It is a cute little duplex right by the seminary! It is a little of our budget but it was the first and only place that I considered to be livable (I'm not exaggerating I couldn't believe the places that we had looked at). I am just glad that we found something while Scott was still here!

So my little baby boy hadn't been feeling well all week. So I called the pediatrician to see if we should take him in. So what started out being just poopy issues turned into him not being able to keep anything down not even pedialyte! He didn't keep anything (formula) for not quite 24 hours, so Scott and I decided to take him to the ER when he stopped keeping pedialyte down. He had been screaming for hours by now and not even attempting to take a bottle. When we got to the ER the weighed him and he had lost a pound so they rush him/us back to a room and start taking blood, urine, and getting him on an IV. I have NEVER heard my baby scream like that it took every thing that was in my not to have a meltdown right there in the room. Once they got him going on the IV and some meds for his tummy I left to have my meltdown. We had no idea what was going on, all I knew was that we are in the hospital, have to work tomorrow and Scott is going home tomorrow and by now I have had no sleep in about 24 hours and only one cup of coffee (all of this alone would be enough to send anyone over the edge). To make a long story short we went home several hours later cleaned out Rite Aide of pedialyte and had a very sick baby for several more days!

Today was the first day he has been keeping his formula down and acting like himself (playing and being happy)! Praise God it was just a virus and that He has given me the energy with the lack of sleep that I have had (Saturday or Sunday night I was lucky if I was able to sleep for an hour at a time). I am so happy to see my baby smile and have fun again!!
