    Prayers for Aidan Please (not a joke)

    Josh and I had to take Aidan to the hospital last night. He has a horrible cold with a post-nasal drip that makes him cough like crazy all the time. When he coughs after he eats, they're so violent he throws everything he just ate back up. Since Monday night, he's only kept down about 4oz. The hospital sent us home saying they couldn't find anything physically wrong (aside from the cold). I am to keep trying to give him food like normal (just did, he only took 4.5oz. and threw up at least 1-2 of it so far), try giving him PediaLite by medicine dropper to keep him hydrated and just wait it out.

    I'm so frustrated. I know there's no cure for the cold but I just keep thinking there must be something more THEY can to. He has barely slept in two days because he's been coughing, he has barely eaten. I'd almost feel better if they sedated him and gave him an IV or something! I don't know. I just hate seeing him like this.

    If you could please spare some prayers for Aidan, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm worried sick for my little boy.

    Have you tried a vaporizer in his room with a little vicks in it, it helps break up the phlem and helps them sleep. Good luck Joann

    Hope Aidan feels better soon. Unfortunately, there isnt allot that can be down for the common cold. It's especially hard on wee little ones because dr's hestiate giving medications out for babies. I'd get a vaporizor which will help him breath better. One good thing about throwing up is he is more likely getting rid of the mucus from the cold.

    Awww! There is nothing worse than a sick baby (human or animal). As long as he is keeping some of what he eats down I think he will be OK. Poor baby, I have sent a prayer up that he get well soon...

    Aw, that's hard as an adult to deal with, I can't imagine as a little baby.

    Oh, poor little guy! I remember when my kids got colds like that, they are so miserable and you feel so helpless. You both will be in my thoughts. (((Hugs)))

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!
