I'm wrapping up the worst night Nate has ever had.
Monday afternoon I left work a bit early not feeling well. Guess who got yet another 24 hour stomach virus? So, Monday night was a sleepless night for me, because it's really hard to sleep on a bathroom floor while you're waiting to toss your cookies. We sent Nate to daycare on Tuesday so that I could stay home, sleep and recover. Nate must have gotten at least a part of the virus I had because the acid poo started sometime on Tuesday and has continued.
Acid poo is a very unique variety of poo in that it's not super stinky, it doesn't come out in large amounts, but it has this horrifying ability to eat through Nate's skin.
His poor butt is red, with a few sores that have opened and are bleeding a little.
Yes - I have a doctors appointment, it's just not until 11.
So, starting around 10 p.m. he started waking up about every half an hour, screaming, screaming in pain. He managed to get a 53 minute stretch in around 2 a.m. but that's when it all ended.
So far, in the last 7 hours, I have changed five diapers. each diaper change comes with at least ten minutes of screaming, with no way to comfort him. I'm doing everything I know to make it better and none of it seems to help. He's exhausted, I'm exhausted, Jason's exhausted because you really can't sleep through the screams coming out of Nate.
So, wish us luck. Hopefully the doctor has an idea/cream/drug that can take away Nate's pain.
