Sick again :0(
Luke was really fussy yesterday, he had a temperature of 101.8 and he had a strange colored poop (I won't go into great detail), so David and I called the on-call nurse and she suggested we bring him in today. This morning I found him asleep in his crib with vomit all around him. It was scary and made me feel like a bad Mommy. I took the morning off and we took Luke in to the doctor. He was diagnosed with an ear infection. I think the poop thing must have been something he ate because it was just a one time thing. I'm thankful that it's not a stomach virus; I hate puking and it's inevitable when your kid has a stomach bug. Luke seems to be doing a little bit better this evening. He's on antibiotics and tylenol. We'll see how tomorrow unfolds.

Holy crap! Your post sounds way more calm that I would bet money you were! I would have freaked out!
When Casey had an ear infection, she had weird poop too. She LOVED the medicine they gave her at teh doc's office. She would cry that she wanted more.
Oh, I can so empathize with you. I found Jack in the morning once in his own barf, too. It sucks, but maybe it'll help you feel better you're not the only one. When Jack gets sick, it usually starts with fussiness, and then moves to his gut, with either barfing or runny poop, or-even better-both. AND when Jack also had an ear infection, we had no idea, and we only found out because we had to take him in for is 18-month routine check-up. I can't wait sometimes for him to talk so he can tell me whats wrong and to e able explain things to him. Hang in there, this too shall pass.
