Before we took this trip to Alabama, Jocelyne and Amos both had a 24/36hr stomach bugs... I have yet to show signs or symptoms of this (maybe because I am so busy cleaning up after everyone else being sick, I wash my hands and am UBER careful of the germs that could transfer).. 2 days before our trip no one from our family showed any signs of being sick.
Then we get on the road...Somewhere close to the Tennessee-Alabama state line Balian throws up. He also is feeling a bit hot so we clean him, up and strip him down to a diaper. Where he stops fussing and slept the rest of the way.
The day before Christmas (the day we arrived) he didnt eat much, but drank lots of water. No extreme fever maybe a bit warmer then normal but nothing to worry about. He has 1 explosive diarrhea diaper.
Christmas day he wakes me up with a fever. Vomits all over Amos, sleeps a LOT, doesnt eat a lot but eats, drinks lots of fluids, gets Tylenol for his fever. Fever breaks, that evening. Over all besides his long naps (maybe from waking up at 5am) he was laughing and playing like normal.
Day after Christmas, no/slight fever returns.. Vomits over me this evening. And after he goes to bed, we have to go in and change the sheets/changes him for his diarrhea has returned.He has played and acted normal all day.
I hate that we are 8-12hrs from home and he is sick (this depending on driving time)... All i Brought with me in tynolol...I havent found anything at Winn-Dixie, or Walmart to treat him with that I think or know will work.
If we were at home, I would be making him tea, warm baths, let him go naked and wrap him in blankets...I have my own mini-pharmacopia with everything from tea, homeopathic remedies, bath salts with essencial oils, to over the counter meds for his age group to adults. I am Doctor Mom.
Take him to the doctor... I dont even know if we should take him to the doc. IS this just a bug? I dont feel like its serious, I feel like I am just out of my element so I am worrying more then normal.
Tonight I keep vigial, and with Amos we make the decision in the morning. I hope its nothing. Yet with your children you never want to be to careful.
