My Poor Kaiden & lots more to say

He has been so sick these past few days :( Been running a high fever constantly. I give him ibuprofen when it gets about 102.5 because he just gets so miserable. Yesterday his temp got up to 104.7. I feel so bad when they are sick, they just want us mommas to work some magic and make them feel better. He has just been laying on me all the time. I cant wait till he is himself again. Its 8:36am and he is still sleeping! Not like him at all!

He had his pediatric GI appt on Wednesday. The Dr. was great, and has a very impressive title on his business card, lol. So I trust him. He asked tons of questions, and said based on what he has been told the first thing he thinks it is is allergies, that he is reacting to something I'm eating still. Or that he is lactose intolerant, which means he will react to my breastmilk no matter what I eat. So he ordered a blood test to test for allergies. He said sometimes they are not very accurate and will come back with no allergies, even though the baby will be reacting to something, but if it does come back with a positive, then he is reacting to that and we can take it out of my diet or put him on a special formula. Second thing he thinks it is is that since I had antibiotics during his birth, it can cause a bad bacteria to grow in the baby, and it wont fix itself, so Kaiden will need to get something else to get rid of the bad bacteria. I'm not sure if this was part of a test he is testing for, I think it is.
Third thing he thinks it is is that something in his intestines didn't grow properly, which he said with my pregnancy issues, could be a result of that. I'm really hoping its not this one, because I'm guessing that would require surgery. But I wont worry about that till later. He also ordered a urine sample and a poop sample. So on Thursday, the day poor kaiden got sick, we took him to the lab and he had to get poked in the arm and blood drawn, it was so sad, we had to hold him down, but it could have been worse. Then we stuck a bag over his penis and waited for him to pee, which he did, and he pooped, so the lab person was going to collect it off his diaper and said "well its all runny" LOL, I said I know, that's why we are here, but he said you guys would ring it out. She said they didn't do that, so I don't know if they got what he needed, he said that the stuff that absorbs into the diaper is what they really need, I will let him know they couldn't do that, maybe the chico lab rings out the diapers. But we were able to get a poop sample after a few diapers. So Kaiden has had a pretty busy miserable couple of days.
here is a pic of him sick after his blood draw, you can see the cotton on his arm.

We were putting Ethan to bed tonight, and we were reading "Angry" to him. One of the pages says "This little boy feels left out, that makes him feel angry, would that make you feel angry" and it has a picture of a mom holding a baby and the little boy left out. Ethan said "No, I'm left In" LOL. Isn't that just to cute?? I love the things kids say.

The day before Mothers Day we went to the chocolate festival, you gotta hear how Ethan says it, lol, here is a video: http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=78429&cdate=20060513

The funnest part of the chocolate festival was the concert. There was a live band that was pretty good, and ppl were out dancing, and Ethan got right out in the middle and danced! It was so damn cute! I just loved it! Here are some pics at the concert:Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

So Mothers Day was really fun. Neils made me an awesome card. Inside was a big flower, and on each petal was different chores I get to choose for him to do. Its been sooooooo nice! I have the best hubby ever! We went to the park and had a picnic and went out to dinner with some friends. It was a fun day.
well I think that's all I have to say. Here are some pics from Mothers Day:
