From Teething to Flu

Well, I think our teething has turned into a flu bug. Eli woke up last night around 1:00a.m, and ate a few ounces of milk and then went back to bed. We werent up for 2 hours like the night before. He woke up a few times after that and just whined and fussed. We didnt go in, at this point theres nothing to do for him.

This morning we got up and went to church. He always does great in the nursery and he still did this morning despite feeling unwell. He had a few ounces of milk this morning, but is refusing to eat any sort of solids. He turns his head at the sight of food. My mother in law mentioned at church this morning that he looks like he's lost weight. The good thing though is he still is drinking lots of water. He is usually almost always willing to drink water if you offer it to him. I made some chicken broth to see if he'd eat it, but it wasnt going to happen. Again, he didnt even want to look at it! His color is off, and he is quite lethargic. He went down for his nap with no issue this morning after church. No crying or whining. I feel so bad for the little guy. He must be so hungry, which is why he's lethargic. Oh and did I mention his breathing is really shallow? He sounds like a panting dog. Andy and I are thinking he's doing it himself but it still stresses me out. Hopefully, when he wakes up from his nap he'll be willing to eat. Cross our fingers.
