He has been such a trooper. He is slightly whinny, but only cries right before he throws up. He likes to be held, but that is normal. I told his doctor, "I know he is sick, because he is snuggling with me. He never snuggles. Even when he was 30 seconds old and they laid him on me. He lifted up his head and looked right at me. I wanted to push his head back down and tell him to snuggle."
He has been on a diet of Pedialyte for the last day and has kept it all down. It is so odd for him to have grape burps. We are going to introduce formula back into his diet tomorrow and pray that he does okay.
Poor little guy!
But look at how happy he still is (and I'm relieved he hasn't lost his cheeks!):
Update: I wrote this Friday night, but didn't publish it until today. Guard is doing okay with his formula. He isn't throwing up, but is having a hard time transitioning back to formula after his grape Pedialyte. Plus, he isn't used to so many calories; he eating has definitely slowed down.
Also, guess who started throwing up Saturday night: Yep, me. I think that moms should be exempt from getting sick if they have to take care of sick kids. Lucky for me, I have a wonderful husband, who took care of everything including his sick wife.

Yay for Guard feeling better, and BOOO to you catching it! What a pain. Hope you feel better soon!
So sad to hear about Guard and the flu. I am like you--very surprised that a baby that young would get it. We are glad to know you are both feeling better.
Love, all of the posts. I think my favorite picture is the one where Guard is holding the book for Gavin. Classic!
