I am incredibly proud to say the least.
Saturday last, the little one started to purge and didn't stop. We counted at least 16 times in a day. Then his temperature soared to a blazing 39.6C. While we were frantically trying to put out his fire by sponging and suppositories, he started vomiting. With the volume he was putting out we were sure he had lost half his body weight.
He couldn't take anything orally. He was miserable. He wailed madly as we sponged him incessantly.
We prayed hard. We lost sleep. We were frayed and exhausted.
But to our amazement he turned the corner really fast. By Monday, as soon as the temperature started dropping, his mood started picking up and he was back to his usual self. Yesterday evening he decided to prove to his fretful guardians that he was OK and proceeded to stand on his own two feet, unsupported, for the very first time!
Ain't gonna let no AGE (acute gastroenteritis) keep me down. No No No. His indomitable spirit has us awe-struck.
He's got something to teach us about getting the tough going when the going gets tough.
Ethan, the stedfast one... because the One is Stedfast.
