Month: April 2017

Tuesday.  Before heading to school, I tried to get him drink some Pedialyte but he would not; I tried again once we arrived at school and before taking him to his classroom and he had some.  I hoped that this would help him at least get thru few hours at Mitchell school.

Fortunately I did not get any phone call from school so he must be doing fine there.  Picked him up  later, he seemed to be happy as usual, his hand was holding a pack of crackers.  So after put on his seat belt, I let him eat his snack, fed him more Pedialyte then he had some milk before heading to the day care.

Dinner as usual, he had salmon porridge, had 9 ounce of milk and slept.  Around 3 AM he woke up and whined; as normal it’s cue for us to know that he wants milk so I gave him another 9 ounce bottle of milk.  As soon as he finished the bottle , I could tell that his stomach was not feeling good because he climbed on top of my body and just lied there.  Usually he’d just go back to his sleep.  Then I heard noises coming from his butt!  Oh no, not again!

We waited a few more minutes so that he could finish his business.  Then Tim took him to the bathtub to clean him up.  It took him a while to get back to sleep, poor little boy!

So he was fine the whole day, until he had that last bottle of milk. Was it the milk? We don’t know but we planned to buy new bottles of milk tomorrow.  We always buy milk at Costco and it’s not expired yet.  He pooped right away after he had milk on Monday morning also so I have a feeling that it might be the milk that causing his stomachache.

Update Sat 4/22/2017: his diarrhea stopped and he has not pooped for 2 days.

In short, he pooped loose liquid for 6 days, he started to take pedialyte on the 3rd day for 3 days.  Other than that we didn’t give him any medicine.

William poops have been liquid like for the last 3 days but only 1 or 2 times a day like usual schedule but this morning he pooped 3 times during 1 hour period, after he had some milk. I guess he didn’t feel good in his stomach that’s why he woke up early about 7: 00 AM.  Normally i have to wake him up around 8:30 AM to take him to school.  Maybe that’s why he stood on the floor with his stomach pushed against the side of the mattress with his face on top of the mattress.

I called his God Father Than, who is a pharmacist, he advised to give him Pectrolyte so I went to the Walmart near my house to get 1 bottle and brought back home to Tim so that Tim can feed William the liquic.  Then I called Mrs. Hana to told her that William won’t be coming.   Then I headed to work.

What a busy morning!

The question is what has he been eating that caused him this upset stomach?  The only difference about his diet is that I fed him cooked spaghetti with Campbell and Soup Cream of Broccoli mixed with 1 can of milk like instructed.  I think he stared to have loose poops since then.  We stopped feeding him that when we saw his loose poops the 2nd time.  Other than that there’s nothing new in his diet.

So he got to spend the whole day at home with Tim; Tim took him to Costco to have lunch (hot dog and pizza).  He didn’t poop until later, after dinner; and then 1 more time before he went to sleep.  I was so worried because I have so much things to do at work that I can’t take a day off; Tim has taken so many day off already.  If William is not getting better, I really don’t know who else can babysit him.
