Gab was rushed to the hospital due to frequent vomiting and lbm.
i was not able to look at him at the ER when the nurses needed to insert needle for his IV. i told Rey that I need to go out while they are doing that. I have to do it to save my energy and be able to take care of him during his confinement, anyway there is his Papa to look after him while the two male nurses are working on it.
Gab is a happy baby, he was still the energetic and playful baby during our 3 day stay at the hospital. (This is after he was recharged the next day, of course!)
doctor advised confinement to save him from being dehydrated due to vomiting and lbm. his vomiting started at 4am, i have brought him to the nearest clinic in our place and the pedia told me its because his throat is swollen, he was given amoxicillin and i was advised to monitor him closely. we took the antibiotic but i was not confident because his not improving after taking it the whole day. at 4pm on the same day, Gab started his lbm at about 30 minutes interval. rey went home earlier than usual and we rushed him to the hospital at around 8pm.
gab lost all his energy during the trip to the hospital he was not crying nor smilling nor playing. he just looks contented because i am carrying him. he was given IV, they monitored his bowel movement, thankfully he did not vomit anymore at the hospital. he has less appetite. he only had around 3 ounces of milk the whole night considering the fact that he was hungry because he takes out anything he takes in.
thank God he is ok the next day, the doctor can't just let us go home because they have to restore his loss of fluid and wait for his appetite to go back to normal.
finally we were allowed to go home on Friday afternoon.
gab missed his big crawling area at home. our room turned into a big "playpen" for him was so missed by my baby. upon entering our small living room, he was immediately requesting to be brought into the room by extending his arm and trying to reach for the door. once he was down on the floor, he was like half running-half crawling and rolling over the mattress. he missed his toys as well and he immediately scattered it all over the floor not knowing which one to pick up first.
i love to see my son as happy and playful as this though we can't really avoid sometimes if our children get sick. its part of growing and we just have to be there for them when it happens.
thankful to have my family beside me...i love you both
