The throwing up continues

On Thursday evening Finnian started to throw up again. Normally he will keep his meds down but he was throwing them up too. Thursday night he was throwing up so much the poor lad had the dry heaves. You know its bad enough when you have them but its horrible to watch you child have them and there is nothing you can do to stop them.
Friday morning he threw up his meds again and we watched and waited for the seizures to start once we saw the first one we got the diastat ready. We had to give him some chest therapy as we could hear some congestion in his left lung. So after some chest PT and a neb treatment he was doing better. He finally stopped throwing up and he was taking some ginger ale. We have him on a low pump rate and it seems to be working.
Its sad to see he has gotten so skinny. He has lost weight again and I haven't weight him but I would say he is now close to 33lbs. Just think a few weeks ago he was almost 40lbs he was just a few ounces off it. Well hopefully that is the end of it and we can get the weight back on him fast.
You know it was bad when we even though about taking him to the ER for some IV fluids. I know some would say just take him but when you deal with Finnian on a daily bases you get to know him and know when its time to take him to the ER. We were almost at that point yesterday.
Here's hoping that today will be a better day.
