Mid-night Scare Continued

Friday we took Brody to the pediatrician and had him checked out. They checked his chest and it was fine so his cold is just in his head. They told us to get some saline solution, squirt it in his nose and suck it out with a bulb syringe. It isn't very fun and it makes Brody scream like crazy but we're hoping that through doing this he will be able to breathe and make it easier to nurse. Last night he was so stuffed up that he wouldn't stay latched on for very long and I had to keep putting him back on after he'd get a breath. This morning he started throwing up so we did what the pediatrician told us to do. We went and bought some pedialyte to keep him hydrated. The first time we fed it to Brody he got a confused look on his face and spit the bottle out. All he's supposed to eat is breastmilk or formula so this was quite different from anything he'd ever tasted (besides cherry flavored tylanol). He took the bottle again and he likes it now. After feeding him a bottle of that (3 feedings) I tried nursing him again and he didn't throw up (Yay!). Hopefully this last visit will be his last doctor visit (except well visits) for quite a while. Luckily we've had my parents around to help out since they know more what they're doing than us right now.
