Ethan didn't sleep well on Tuesday night, or Wednesday night. It made for some very long nights and very long days. We just don't know what to do for him other than try to give him liquids so he doesn't dehydrate (he's been having a little bit of diarrhea) and hold him so he can sleep.

The hardest part about yesterday was that Mia was working and Ethan just did not want to go to sleep. I held him for an hour while he cried and cried. Finally he calmed down and I held him for 2 more hours just to make sure he got some rest. Finally when Mia got home I put him down and about an our later he was awake and crying again. He didn't wake up as much as Tuesday, but it was still too much. We were both very tired today, and my wife had to work again! And she works tomorrow!

Fortunately Ethan is still asleep, so this is the longest he has gone in the last couple of days. I am hopeful that he will sleep through the night and we might be getting clear of his sickness.
