soo sick

cole has been so sick with an awful belly virus. we were lucky enough to only have it for about 48 hours, but cole is going on day 4. however, this morning when we woke up he was not himself. he woke up then curled up on me and slept another two hours. i tried to wak ehim up but he couldn't seem to lift his head or stay awake. he got him to drink some juice but he just wanted to sleep. after calling the doctor several times we finally got in to see a doctor. they immediately told us he was very dehydrated and started an iv on him. they couldn't find any veins in his arms so they had to put it into his little foot. he was such a great little man though. within minutes of the iv starting he perked up and was drinking, snacking, and laughing. it was very scary to see him this way today but we are so thankful he is ok.

Oh God I remember Sam's first IV and the horror of that first night in the hospital. I'm sorry you went through that and I am glad to hear he is doing better.
