Fevers and ouchies in the belly

I was so happy this morning when Isannah woke up fever free. I thought after a day of fevers things were looking up. We played and laughed and enjoyed a drive together. All of the sudden my little man Giovanni informed me that his tummy hurt. Before I was able to check to see how he was doing puke was rapidly coming out of his mouth on to his clothes, the car seat and car. Poor little guy was so unhappy and worried. I immediately pulled over and we began the cleaning and changing process. The crying sounds from the back seat continued all the way home. Not from one but both children. You want so much to comfort them and make them feel better but driving in a car makes it most difficult and causes you to feel like you are not doing all that you could to help. We finally made it home and just took the day in and relaxed but not before Gio threw up once more. Fever stayed steady at 100 and his little tummy was hurting on and off. This continued until dinner which he hardly touched. We skipped the night time routine for him for the first time and let him rest but each time he lifted his head our baby boy puked. I watched my husbands loving eyes look so concerned as he took care of our Gio. No matter the amount of puke I cleaned, the change of blankets and sheets I felt blessed knowing I had him on my side and helping us through this. Both Gio and Isa are finally peacefully sleeping, at least I hope they are both as comfortable as can be. I can’t take my eyes off the video monitor. I’m so worried he is going to get scared and puke again. Please help them sleep through the night pain free and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to start the day with their spunky self.
