Yesterday was a rough one for us. After a sleepless night on my part, Mike took over in the morning, holding Ev on the couch so I could get a few hours of sleep. All Evan wanted to do all day was sleep or lay on one of us, and that's all he did. We stayed in our jammies and just held him and tried to make him feel better. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to work.
What really worried me is that Evan didn't eat for another day, and at one point he was refusing to drink as well. He didn't want anything, and I began to fear we were going to end up at the hospital for dehydration. After a call to my mom for advice, we just kept pushing fluids and hoping for the best. Mike eventually came to the rescue--he went out and got Ev a "sport bottle" of Gatorade. He loves those, and finally had a few sips before going to bed last night.
We both slept pretty soundly all night, and got up a little after 8 this morning. Ev seems more alert today, and already had something to drink. Here's hoping we've turned the corner now and are on our way to wellness.
