October had a bit of a ruff start for us. Payton started throwing up about 11:00pm Wednesday night. When he was still throwing up almost 2 hours later and refusing liquids we took him to the ER. We didn't want to risk him getting dehydrated. Our best guess was a case of food poisoning from some leftovers he had had for dinner that night. They gave us an anti-nausea pill for him, did X-rays of his tummy and did a CAT scan. (to make sure the vomiting wasn't related to a possible concussion from him bumping his head earlier in the day) After he was taking fluids they sent us home at 4:00am with a $3,000 bill.
The next day we had a check up at his doctor's office. (The diarrhea had begun at that point and continued through Friday.) He weighed in at 19lbs 14 1/2 ounces and was 30 inches tall. He is long and lean just like his dad. I think he had lost some weight from being sick. They confirmed the food poisoning diagnosis.
Friday he was so pitiful and drained we were concerned we were going to have to take him back to the ER. He was just laying there starring into space and not able to move around or stay awake. For those of you who have spent any time around my baby you know how active and busy he is all the time, even when he is not felling well. He never laid around and slept like that even as a new baby. He finally seemed to perk up and eat a little bit though so we stayed home.
Saturday he seemed to be back on track but Jamie and I started feeling ache and nauseas. (of course) Makes me think maybe we are passing the flu around. Payton got sick again once last night and we have all been laying around all day today feeling like we have been hit by a truck. Hopefully we will all be feeling well tomorrow.

Payton and Daddy camped out on the couch with all of the "I'm not feeling well" supplies.
