This is how Elijah and I spent all of last night (and most of the night before). In the rocking chair, snuggled up. He would only sleep sideways like this. He's waking up every 30-60 minutes, and it's just miserable. He's had a low grade fever for more than 48 hours, isn't eating (except some pureed sweet potatoes), struggling to nurse, and will only take a sip of water at a time. It definitely seems like it is his throat, and no other symptoms besides the fever and snoring at night. This comes on the heels of attempting to go off the quinoa diet Friday and Saturday (which resulted in him getting up 4x Friday night and 6 Saturday night). Sunday was only quinoa again, and he slept from 630 until 4 am! At 4 am Monday, I noticed the fever and it's all been down hill from there.
It's heartbreaking having a kid so sick and not being able to do anything. As miserable as I am, he is obviously more so!! He has an appt with the pediatrician this am just to make sure it's not something more than a virus.
