X is not able to tolerate his formula again. I wish I knew what was going on in his gut. Whenever he has any kind of "bug", he cannot tolerate his formula and he is not hungry. I am wondering if his motility slows way down. I'll have to call the GI doctor on that one.
X was able to get 300 calories of his 1200 last night and then it was straight pedialyte. We tried a reduced rate of his formula and mixed it with pedialyte, but that didn't help. This evening I will try a slower rate and dilute it more. He is crashed out right now and getting pedialyte because he is so tired and was almost to the point of starting to get lethargic. (he was sleeping on the couch, but woke up and insisted he needs to sleep on The floor) It's amazing how quickly he loses energy and becomes dehydrated.
I can tell the pedialyte isn't sitting all that well with him either. Which is new. He's never had a problem with the pedialyte. It's all so frustrating, because we don't know why the change in his formula worked in the first place.
Well, the puke buckets are back out and I need to be close by him again. Which is a bummer, because it is so gorgeous outside. He should be out enjoying the weather. Praying this cold doesn't stick around long. Dumb germs.
