So the shots went great, just got had a miserable fever to go with those. The rest of the weekend left us all a little exhausted. After our Friday shots, getting rid of our fever on Saturday, we spent Sunday morning and then again Sunday night in the Emergency Room w/ our little trooper. Turns out that he somehow picked up the "Hand / Foot / Mouth" disease somewhere, except Kayden's was mostly just mouth. He had giant ulcers in the back of his throat putting him in severe pain and not wanting to eat. By the time we got him to the ER the 2nd time, he'd last had a full bottle on Friday at his shots. It was a long weekend / beginning of the week had by all of us. Sleepless nights, only sleeping in his car seat or swing and then Mom getting sick on top of it all. Kayden is finally on the mend, actually slept in his crib ALL of last night, and even cuddled w/ Mom for a bottle. His new thing is he only wants his little baby bottles and he holds onto them himself, thinking he's a big boy! He's pretty proud of himself and we have to reload the bottles every few minutes so its a team effort at our house. The Dr wanted Kayden to start eating oatmeal, but we think we'll wait until we've all his the healthy train before we throw that into our mix! I have a feeling he'll enjoy it though!!
PS - the teeth are still on their way, the Dr said his gums are still swollen and the bottom teeth are on their way.
Why must you interrupt me while I'm eating?
Finally feeling better!
