A Very Sick Baby

Our poor baby caught a gastrointestinal illness and was very sick.

We went to the doctor every day for a week. Christopher had lost 2 pounds and was extremely dehydrated. He had to receive fluids through an IV.

My heart was breaking as they stuck him. He was sooooo sad. Then he got very angry because he couldn't use his hand or arm. He received 5 and 1/2 bags of fluids over the next three days. The doctors even left the IV in his hand for the three days, so he had to figure out how to crawl with the board on his hand.

We felt horrible because he was sick and sad and he didn't know why.




We were so relieved when he had the IV removed.
