Bode and I started our morning off with an appointment for a hearing test. Due to his Nicu stay it’s recommended by the pediatrician for his hearing to be tested again besides the newborn hearing test. He passed again! ✅ Afterwards we went to TJMaxx and got Bode some new toys I attached to his car seat and then a quick Target run for coffee, some bath time essentials, and this cute little froggy faucet cover! I also got the frog knee pad and suction cup frog mirror for the tub so he can see himself! All of it I found up front in the Bullseye’s Playground! 🐶
🦠 The stomach virus causing Bode Boy to have diarrhea caused vomiting and severe dehydration. The same day we had a checkup with his pediatrician he started vomiting up his bottles and we immediately took him to East TN Children’s Hospital. We were admitted for two nights receiving fluids! The virus ran its course and we made it home just before the snowstorm! ❄️
Mondays can often set the tone for the week ahead, and this was certainly true for Bode's family. Starting the day with a hearing test was a precautionary measure recommended due to Bode's NICU stay, ensuring his health and development are on track. After passing the test, a trip to TJMaxx resulted in some delightful finds, including toys that can stimulate Bode's senses while keeping him entertained! The excursion didn’t stop there; a quick visit to Target allowed the family to stock up on necessary bath time essentials, making the mundane shopping experience a fun adventure. New products like froggy faucet covers and knee pads not only add functionality but bring joy during bath time! However, the day was not all fun and games. Facing the aftermath of a stomach virus can be challenging for young children and their parents. Recognizing symptoms early and receiving prompt care is crucial; it’s a reminder for parents to stay vigilant about their child's health. If your little one shows signs of vomiting or dehydration, don’t hesitate to consult your pediatrician. Finally, navigating both medical and shopping adventures during a busy week exemplifies how parents juggle different responsibilities. Remember, it's important to balance play and healthcare in your little ones' lives, ensuring they receive both love and necessary medical attention.
