This has been a rough week. Daddy Q sick on Monday, Owen's twisted ankle on Tuesday, Owen sick on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday spent caring for a less-than-100%-Owen, and then there was yesterday....
Owen fell and bumped his head...hard. He got a knot the size of a silver dollar. Called the doc...put ice on it...he was fine. Trip to ER avoided.
And then, Liam got sick. Really sick considering how small his tiny tummy is. So, another call to the doc...and, we landed ourselves in the ER. Poor fellow.
It was rough for him. They had to insert a catheter to take a urine sample, draw blood from his tiny veins, insert an IV, and take Xrays of his chest. Apparently, even thought he stomach virus was making its way through our house, they have to rule out tons of other things that can occur in babies his age that cause projectile vomit. An IV of fluids and four hours of mama walking around the room later...he finally relaxed enough to rest.
He has an infection of some sort. We go to the doctor tomorrow to confirm he is on the mend and to get an official diagnosis. Man...being in the ER with a 4 week old baby is scary stuff. I am so glad that he is doing better now. 
On another note, Daddy Q took his first over night trip since we've had Liam tonight. I managed; but, boy was it a rough one. Liam still isn't 100% and was up and fussy from 5 until 9:30. I managed to get Owen fed {Liam dozed off for about 30 minutes} and bathed during this time; but, it wasn't easy. Didn't get Owen to bed until 10PM. Yikes. I hope that next week when I do this again on my own, it goes better!
Well, I am off to read the blogs I follow and then to sleep! Here's to a better week this week--one that doesn't entail so many sicknesses and injuries!!
