We spent last Monday night in the ER with poor little Isaac. He started throwing up and wouldn't stop, it was so sad! He got really pale and lethargic and I got way scared so we took a trip to the hospital. Of course this all happened after the clinics were closed and while Shawn was in school taking a final. Luckily, I was at my parents when it started so my dad took us to the hospital and stayed with us. They gave him Zofran which he was able to keep down, and once it kicked in they had me feed him to make sure he would keep that down. He never threw up again after the medicine, so they sent us home. Sure sounds easier then it was, it was a horrible night. I couldn't even put him in his car seat because every time he would throw up he would choke and I didn't want him strapped down choking. It was a good decision- he did throw up in the car. And in the waiting room, and in his room in the ER-poor baby! I was a mess, no one warned me about this part of being a mom! It's so horrible to have a sick baby, I felt so helpless. I don't stay calm and collected either. You wouldn't know that I've been a nurse for 10+ years, I just turn into this crazy, terrified mother-it's embarrassing. Anyway, he is totally fine now, by the next day he was acting completely normal. Oh and just to clear things up, we did not take our camera to the ER. We took that picture with Shawn's phone once Isaac was feeling better and perking up and I was a little calmer. The little gown was pretty cute-it was huge on him. It says "sleepy little tiger" all over it which he was. This all happened after his bedtime. What a night!

Poor little guy- Poor mom!!! Did you go to work the next day? you are a real champ if so. Ezra had a fever this morning so John took the whole day off. Sick kids = basketcase parents. It's just nature.
I'm glad he is feeling better. :o)
