It feels like a roller-coaster ride, but Gavin is doing better this morning. It seems like we keep bouncing back and forth between sick and feeling better.  At this point, Gavin's definitely back in his feet, at least for now.  I think we're going to try and keep him from overdoing it today. I'm not sure if that's going to help anything but it's really the only thing we can do. With any luck, he's past being sick and we can move forward. 

Gavin was in rough shape on Saturday morning, but felt better as the day moved forward. Unfortunately, as bedtime approached, he began to get sick again.  It's possible that his meds are what is upsetting his stomach tonight. Unfortunately, we had no choice but to give them to him.  We did make sure he ate something prior, without eating too much. We felt it was best that he not take his meds on an empty stomach. It seems that didn't help because he went to bed feeling like he was going to vomit. The last thing in the world we need is for him to go through another night like the last.  At this point, he's sleeping and doing so peacefully. I'm going to count that as a blessing and…

After about five episodes of vomiting, Gavin is finally back on his feet. Thankfully, nothing was triggered by him being sick. We were worried about the vomiting leading to dehydration, and that leading to his body crashing.  We kept him in bed for most of the day, and that's probably what helped him get through this.  He's currently drinking fluids and he's eaten a banana. He's pestering us for a Swiss Roll but we've told him no way. That's a good sign that he's actually feeling better though. Hopefully, he will continue to improve and tomorrow he'll be back to his old self again.  On a side note, there's another reason for concern that you might not think about.  When he's this sick, he can't take his medication. He was…

Unfortunately, Gavin has become very sick. About 4 AM this morning, I woke up to him crying and in obvious distress. He ended up in the bathroom, puking.  We aren't sure what's behind this but we are watching him very closely.  This is not a good thing because this could easily trigger a life threatening autonomic crisis. All we can do is keep him hydrated, comfortable and get him to the hospital is he gets worse.  Before I could even finish this post, Gavin was puking a second time.
