Today was not such a good day. Kolton refused to eat or drink anything. I spent the entire day offering different types, flavors, and textures. So, we ended up at KidMed for 3 hours tonight. He got a 1/2 bag of IV fluids and another nebulizer treatment. They told me they were on the fence about admitting him. Thankfully we were sent home but I might end up sleeping in his room tonight.
Kolton is so picky that he doesn't drink things like Gatorade & Juice on a regular basis. He also refuses popsicles and ice cream. So when he is this stuffed up and milk just isn't appealing there is nothing left to hydrate him besides a little water here or there. Its really hard trying to explain this to the doctors when they tell me to push fluids. Do most kids just like that stuff automatically? Its sometimes hard to tell if I miss the boat on some obvious mommy things or if my kid is a little weird.
Saw on fb that he was admitted - hope you guys are holding up okay. We invested in a nebulizer and it has allowed us to keep her home for most illnesses. Too late for this cold - but maybe worth it for the future. Hang in there!
