Our Christmas Eve was not the typically Christmas Eve. Kai started a fever at wee hours in the morning. We brought him into the clinic right away that morning. The doctor concluded that he needed some pain management, so he was prescribed some pain medicine. At this point, Kai was seemed to be tolerating his G tube feedings (we had decreased to amount). Levi and the boys played out the snow in the afternoon and then the boys took naps. After naps, we opened presents and the boys played a little before going to Grandma's. We went to Levi's mom's in the evening. By this point Kai was not feeling that great at all and he had a pretty good fever, but he couldn't have anymore medicine. So we just got him down to his onesie and tried to cool him down with a cool wash cloth. We did the Christmas dinner and presents there and then went home. Kai was still running a fever and by bedtime-ish we were able to give him some more medicine. We put Kai to bed and started his overnight feeding (on the J-Tube) at around 10 pm. At about 11:30, Kai woke up and was extremely fussy. He had a pretty good fever at that time and then started vomiting the yellow stomach junk. Got him changed and tried to cool him down. He did not look very good at all. We ended up taking him into ER in Mankato just a little after midnight. For the contiuation, please read the next post.
