I was getting worried that Ian was going to turn into a bitchy baby. Thankfully, yesterday he started smiling and playing again. I'm glad it was just that he was feeling like crap, because his attitude kinda stunk. No barfing for 4 days now and we're starting to get him back onto regular foods. Still a bit of the diahhrea coming out, but he's got energy and he stayed in his bed all night. It was great to play some games with him again, especially as before he'd just start crying whenever I touched him in a way that he didn't like.
I'm not sure how parents with perpetual sick or terminal ill kids can take it. I've read about parents that have kids with cancer and other problems...yikes. I'm just hoping that we never have to go through something like that. Who knows though, I certainly feel lucky for the health of our family.
