I was on the phone with Jason about how pathetic poor Diddles was acting and walked in to find him sitting in his booster. Jason felt so awful that we were only supposed to be offering clear fluids all day and during our discussion I mentioned banana and Dalton heard and said he wanted some so Jason talked me into giving him some:
He ate the tiniest amount. Easton was sitting next to him and I saw E offering bites to his baby brother to help out. Awwww.
This is the same amount of cracker he started with:
Didn't want his water either:
I got him to take a few sips of Pedialyte right when he woke from his nap because he was parched, recognized the cup and took a few swallows before the taste registered with him. After that I probably only got another sip or two in him all day. He's had one wet diaper in more than 24 hours. If things don't pick up drinking-wise, then I'm thinking an IV might be in order. :( If he wasn't just at the doctor today I might be thinking an IV was past in order.
He's so un-Diddlesey right now. Just laying around and all. He got up from his nap and layed on me or near me or with pillows on his head while the 3 of us watched Dumbo in the big bed. We came back downstairs and after his "snack" he did more of the same: laying around.
He's not even caring about watching the TV:
Because it was just too hard to get all the way up:
He made it up again:
And back down under the couch:
And eventually over to the other couch:
When he heard Jason come home, normally he rushes to the door but instead he continued laying on the floor and merely said, "Daddy". Jason fed D a few Sun Chips with dinner. He wouldn't take anything else but we did get him to join us in drinking some water. That was good. We offered some Jell-O for dessert, he didn't want any of that either. None of us do. Jell-O...ICK!
Instead we retreated into the family room again where he laid on the floor with toys. He dumped part of the bucket of pretend food over his head and laid in it.
My poor, poor guy. I really hope none of the rest of us get this...it's hard just to watch sweet D go through it!

Poor guy! Do you have Gatorade or Sprite? At this point they don't care what they are drinking as long as they drink. Hope you guys didn't have to go in for fluids!
Poor sugar! With each passing picture of D on the couch, I would just say, "ohhh, ohhh, ohhh..."
I hope he feels better soon, and that you don't have to take a dreaded trip to get and IV. ...you need to find a drinking fountain. Don't all kids love to drink out of fountains?
Poor baby. I hate when kids get sick, it is just so sad to see them suffering. I agree with Kyla and would also try Gatorade, Sprite, 7-up or any other form of luquid that he might be willing to take.
Poor D. He looks miserable. I sure hope that no one else gets this. I hope he feels better soon.
When Luke was not drinking they said to offer popcicles. Do you think he might try one of those?
Poor baby boy. I hope he gets better with NO Er visit!
Oh, bless his heart! I had the same reaction as Molly...with every passing picture, I thought "ohhh, ohhh, ohhh." Poor baby! :(
