Stomache Flu

This weekend has been insane!

On Saturday we went to the Edmonton Humane Society to look at the puppies there. Eli loves puppies, so we thought maybe it might be fun to go look at them. He did love it! Then we came home for naps. Once we woke up we got ready for Church and headed out. The service was great, and Eli loves being in the childcare with the other kids. He even sat in the service for a bit because it went late. He kept asking to hear the music.

When we got home we got Eli ready for bed, and thats when it all started. He kept complaining that his belly hurt. We got him to sleep and he was quiet until about 11:00pm. I went in to check on him and he was whining and tossing around in his bed. Then next thing I knew he started puking everywhere. I called Andy in, and we brought him into the bathroom. This whole puking thing went on for the rest of the night. He threw up 4 or 5 times more. We pulled his bed into our room so he could sleep beside us, but when he was throwing up he was whining because his tummy hurt, as well as coughing.

We came downstairs around 4am, in an attempt to sleep on the couch with him, but that lasted less than 45 minutes. Then Andy told me to go upstairs while he stayed down with Eli, trying to get him to sleep. Awhile later Andy came into our room and told me to come see Eli. He had set him down on the floor and went into the kitchen for a minute, and when he came back Eli was asleep on the floor. Thats where he slept for the next 2.5 hours. The longest stretch of the night that we had.

Eli's stomach flu went on into Sunday and some of Monday. Luckily for us, he is feeling better today and back to sleeping through the night! We were all exhausted, and theres nothing worse than having a sick little boy that wont sleep, and cant keep anything down including water.

Today we went out, and played for awhile. Boy was it great to get out and have a happy little boy who could eat, and play!
