Getting better...

We got home from the hospital around lunch on Memorial Day.  My sweet cousin Lauren took LeLe to a Memorial Day swim party.  Gibson and I put train tracks together, built block towers, and watched MORE movies.  I fell asleep a couple of times...probably because I haven't slept but 3-4 hours over the past couple of days. 

He still is fighting taking his medicine.  This is something that is very new to me considering he has ALWAYS been a great medicine taker.  He actually still takes medicine a couple of times a day for allergies and for his eczema.  So, medicine is not new to him....however, I do think that it was causing some issues on Saturday and he correlates the 2 together.

We went to Krispy Kreme...which was his first request...and he carefully and cautiously gulped down 2 doughnuts today.  We are on top of him regarding intake of liquids.  We did try to get him to eat outside (which is one of his favorite things to do)....but it ended in screaming and crying.  Lauren finally convinced him into taking his lortab...and then he started acting better...well, acting drunk...but not crying.  After the lortab kicked in, I loaded him up on Popsicles in the bathtub..They were filled with fructose...which is a big "no no" for Gibson but at this point, I would rather him have any liquid than to get dehydrated.  He ate 5 of them!  I am sure that the fake sugar is much better tasting than regular Popsicles which we usually have. 

He fought off sleeping...another new experience..but finally fell asleep while I watched "The Bachelorette".  I took him to his bed...I climbed in too...and we slept until 10:15 today!

When we woke up...I decided I could NOT TAKE being in the house any longer.  We herded the crew together and headed to grab some lunch at Newks...where G didn't eat a thing...and then to the popcicle place in Homewood...where...Gibson didn't eat anything.  :(  We then headed to the new target in Homewood where G loves to ride the escalator.  Anything I can do to make this baby not cry all day lon
g.  I think Lauren and Gibson may have ridden it 10 times.  :)

We have continued to push "nilla" milk, gatorade, but tonight...he asked to go to the "cook behind you place".  So, we all loaded up and headed to Stix.  He FINALLY threw back some food....and a lot of it.  He loves watching the fire and while paying attention to the guy cooking...ate about 1/2 cup of rice and some steak.  Matt...claims we will go every night until this baby is back to normal.
