This week Ian has been super sick. He hasn't been eating well or anything at all. Tuesday we went to Billings for therapy. His therapist said he was acting kind of off and lethargic (for him) all day. He napped really well on the way home. Then a hour or so after getting home he threw up twice, and had really bad runny diapers. He was this way all day Wednesday as well. We canceled therapy all together. That night I was trying to figure out why he would be not eating much, laying around/sleeping lots, and keeping nothing down + runny diapers. I remembered that on Monday he was helping me water the flowers. Well he drank some the water that comes from the ditch. It wasn't much. After remembering this I called the hospital clinic right away to talk to a nurse. They wanted to see him, but had no openings. They wanted him at the ER with the last soiled diaper he had. They check him out and decided that it seemed like he had giardia. They sent us home with the medicine that help with that as well as nausea meds. They sent the diaper off to the lab to be tested.
Meanwhile at home, Ian would not keep the giardia medicine down at all. He was eating a little better, and drinking. Every time we gave him the medicine it all came up.
The clinic called the next morning and told us it wasn't giardia, thank goodness. We must of just caught as little flu bug. It was the worst flu bug poor Ian had ever had. By Saturday he was feeling 100% better.
