Yucky Stomach bugs

Bridger broke out in a rash thursday night on his legs. I didn't notice it until I undressed him to bathe him that night. I wasn't sure if he came home from daycare with it or if it was some food that I had given him for the very first time. It was pretty thick on his legs but I just gave him some allergy medicine and put him down.

Friday during daycare he had gone to the bathroom around 5 times! It caused a major nasty diaper rash. Poor baby was in so much pain. The rash had moved up his stomach and back and arms.

Saturday he seemed fine but I had noticed the rash had moved up to his face some....he was good at the boat show...but while at Anndreas he was not listening and being bad, so I took him aside and put him in time out. While we was crying over it he started to throw up! I picked him up quickly and he just kept throwing up.....I felt horrible for Bridger and Anndrea! Ryan took him outside obviously to keep Bridger away from Isabella and getting her sick. I disinfected her house and everything that Bridger touched!! Our time was cut too short.

On the way to Corey and Leahs Bridger threw up 2 more times! good thing this mommy packs heavy! =) His rash was even worse on his face. Once we got there it took him awhile to get down and warm up to the kids....but he finally did. He started acting better. I finally put him down way late, only to him being awake 30 mins later. That started our loooonnngg night. He wouldn't sleep in the pack and play and you could tell he felt horrible. He kept trying to snuggle with us....mind you he has NEVER slept with us before. He would literally sleep for 15 mins and then wake up again! His little skin was SO hot! We got up at one point searching for a thermometer to get his temp. I was shocked it was only nearing 102 because he was burning up! finally he fell asleep at 4am and i woke up at 7 and knew we had to get on the road to try to make it to the doctor. None of us got much sleep. We didn't make it to the doctor, no appts available by the time we would make it into town.

I took him Monday morning and turns out he had a stomach and intestional virus. The rash was just something that went along with this type I guess. I felt so horrible for bringing my sick child to my friends house that just had a baby!!! He seemed fine though and how would I guess the rash was from a virus?! I really thought it was a food allergy. Doc said baby should be good as long as B didn't touch her. check!

My poor baby gets everything, or it seems like it. He is starting to feel better I think.
Here is his little face. Pictures don't do it justice...poor baby looked horrible.
