Day 4

Eli is doing better day. Thank you for all of your prayers and positive thoughts for us. Yesterday morning we started giving him the anti-nausea medication and just normal children's Tylenol every 4 hours. It was pretty obvious that the heavy pain medication (and quite possibly the anesthesia) were making him really sick. I was worried that he would be in pain with just the normal children's Tylenol, but he seemed okay. Yesterday he vomited once and had a lot of diarrhea, but he drank about 10 oz of pedialyte.

For about 3 hours last night he would only sleep if we held him, but then finally he would let us put him down.

This morning he drank about 6 oz of formula and has kept it down so far - yay! He still has diarrhea, but I talked to the nurse this morning and I guess that is normal. He doesn't seem to be in pain, so I am so thankful for that.

He still hasn't smiled yet, but I guess that is to be expected.

So for today we are just hoping that he drinks and keeps it down and that the diarrhea subsides.
