Tummy Update

Ok.. sorry for the delay but I just got a few minutes to get out to the local Starbucks and shoot an update out. Caleb took about 1200 mL of fluids yesterday and it still on more today.  He had a better night... he nursed two times and we thought he was perhaps rounding the corner.. but this morning he vomited again (which he hasn't done in about 24 hours) so this was sort of depressing.
 
Dr. Morad came by this morning and said she thought he "looked" better and asked us to try to give him a cracker at about noon and see how he did.  This should be interesting because thus far he will only sip water bout every few hours... it is hard to convince an infant to do something they really don't want to do.
 
Tests have confirmed he has something called Rotavirus... which apparently is a nasty little bug for the little guys, because it is very hard on them.  On the flip side it is pretty common (Dr. Morad has admitted three this week for it).
 
Dr. Morad will come by again tonight and have a look at him and we are hoping for a good report.  We will send out an update when we get that report.
 
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.  Please keep it up.
