Sicky

Last night Soren had a hard time falling asleep. Usually he'll fall right to sleep when I put him in his crib, but last night he was restless and cried quite a bit. So after about 10 minutes I went back in and tried to burp him. 5 minutes later there was a little burp so I put him back in bed and he started crying again. Dan tried this time and even sang to him...nothing helped. He was worked up. I went back in and took off his onsie thinking he was hot because it was a rather warm night. That helped a little. I rubbed his tummy and he fell asleep. Less than an hour later Dan and I were dozing off when we hear Soren throwing up multiple times. We filled the tub a little and soaked him in there to calm him down. It worked well. I cleaned up his crib while Dan got him out and wrapped him in a towel. 2 minutes later he throws up some more while Dan is holding him. Back to the tub he went and let him soak some more. Layered his crib with lots of towels in case there was anything else wanting to come up.
By this time I told Dan to get to bed because he was going to have to get up in 5 hours for work. I got Soren's diaper back on and he fell right to sleep. 10 minutes later I woke up to a kind of dry heaving, only a little came up. He went right back to sleep. This continued for about 40 minutes in 10 minute intervals. Than he woke me with crying. I changed his dirty diaper, he went right back to sleep. Half hour later he woke up crying again, I picked him up and went to the living room and gave him some baby water in his bottle. He only took a little before he fell asleep again. Back to bed he went. An hour later once again woke up crying. This time I fed him and he was half asleep, so he didn't do a fabulous job. That was ok because I didn't want him to have too much in case he wasn't done purging. I put him back in his crib at about 3:30, and it is now almost 9:30 and he hasn't woken up. I'm glad he isn't throwing up any more, but I will probably need to wake him up to feed him. Maybe he has no energy whatsoever to even wake up. I hope he is back to his regular self today.
I'm still not for sure and certain why he got so sick. He didn't have a fever or high temperature through it all.
