From one thing to another. Josiah was just starting to improve a little with the reflux that had been so bad for a couple weeks... and then on Saturday, he got a little stomach bug. He couldn't keep anything down. We had to change his clothes about 5 times... and Mike's 3 times! It seemed whenever Mike would pick him up, he threw up all over him. I only got it once. Thanks for sparing me, baby! Anyway, Josiah was quite pitiful for a little while and we ended up having to just give him very very small amounts of pedialyte for the rest of the day. Finally by late last night, his tummy seemed okay and we have slowly been reintroducing formula. He's gone about 30 hours without getting sick now, so I'm sure we're in the clear... he doesn't have his full appetite back yet though. Ironically with his refux, Josiah hardly ever spits up, and never like this... so this was all new. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet our friends (Elizabeth, Luke & Audrey) who were travelling through town like we had planned.
Even so, I somehow did manage to make it to the early service at church with Josiah this morning by myself (Mike was meeting with someone for breakfast and met us there later), and we spent the beautiful afternoon out at the park. Now we're just wondering how long he'll sleep since he's had about 10 oz less of formula than he usually does in a day. So on that note, I need to get off here and go to bed!
