So I mentioned that the diarrhea began after the pizza...well the severe retching vomiting began Saturday around 2:00. He violently threw-up mos of Saturday and all Saturday night. By 3:00 am the stridor sound started. Stridor is that awful severe wheezy sound one makes when tryig to breath. We pulled the nebulizer out of the closet and started breathing treatments. One treatment every two hours. This did control the stridor and Stanton seemed to have more energy after each treatment.

By Sunday night, Stanton was still really lethargic and had fevor, so we took him to the ER. They did a chest x-Ray and sort of just blew us off. The ER doctor said it was "just a cold" and more than likely viral. Ugh! Why don't doctors listen to parents? Look at my son's history and listen to me! I don't know why the medical world can't seem to make the connection between Stanton eating, then Stanton becoming really sick!

So Monday we took Stanton to our pediatrician who said that the chest x-Ray did show a cloudy area in one lung! She sent us home with ear drops, an antibiotic and steriods....none of which stays down! The pediatrician wanted to give us 24 hours to medicate Stanton. We go back to the doctor today

To date, Stanton still hasn't eaten or taken any formula. We feel successful if we can get 1 oz of liquid in him!
