Levi got a stomach bug that wouldn’t quit.
I finally realized he was dehydrated, but it took me too long to convince the doctors.
So Levi ended up in the hospital with severe dehydration, hypoglycemia, and a heart murmur.
Four failed IVs later, we had to go the tube route. Not fun.
He had to wear braces so he wouldn’t pull the tube out.
Logan was on a work trip so Beth helped me at the hospital and the big boys went to the G&G B&B.
After 24 hours with the braces on he was trustworthy to remove them. He did a great job not pulling on the tube.
Morale was low by day 3 so he got his birthday gifts early.
We tried everything that counted as liquid, including popsicles and jello.
It took three days of fluids but he finally started perking up.
He slowly started eating and drinking on his own but it was not a fast process.
His brothers finally got to visit. They missed him, and he missed them too.
Lewis thought the braces were hilarious and decided to experiment. Turns out elbows are super helpful.
My awesome friend cheered me up with some treats because sometimes life stinks.
Lewis approved. :)
