Night 6 of fluids!

Tonight will be night 6 of fluids. Riley Finally stopped throwing up Friday night!
He actually was able to eat 2 chicken nuggets Thursday night and keep that down then Friday night he eat 3 peaces of bread, and Saturday he eat a small pancake!! But he just isn't able to drink enough to stay hydrated, so we still have to give him 10 hours of fluids each night.
This has actually been a life saver!! No hospital visits this week!!! Thank goodness!!!
The bad part is.... we can't get his miralax down him so his last bowel movement didn't go so well. Poor guy!
Saturday morning Riley had a low grade fever but by the afternoon he was in the clear. This was hard for me because it was my beautiful baby sisters wedding 3 hours away and I wanted to go and support her but I didn't know if the fever would climb and Riley would be in the hospital or not. I knew though, he was in good hands with the BEST father in the world taking care of him, so Hunter and I decided to go and I would just have to get a police escort/ very large speeding ticket home if needed!!
All worked out and besides my anxiety all day, everything was wonderful!
Today Riley has been tired and can't seem to find anything to eat or drink that tastes good. So we have a sampling table at our house! He took a really good 2 hour nap.... at 5:00p.m. so we'll be up late again tonight! This is a good start to a long week ahead!! Oh well!
Thank you to my wonderful partner in crime, Chris! I love you babe! You amaze me everyday at your love for your family! You pick up where I lack and keep me going when I just can't do it anymore. I knew I picked a good one!!!

We pray for him everyday! Thankful for fluids at home so you haven't spent the week in the hospital. Chris really is awesome. You two are a good match! Love you guys so much. Another week down! :)
