Doctor Google

My Google search terms tonight started off rationally:

"can babies eat mushrooms?"

"what are signs of possible food poisoning in babies?"

"what to do when baby is vomitting with diarrhea?"

Then progressed to slightly suspicious:

"Are there food safety standards at farmer's markets?"

"Bad wild morels + Oregon + incidence of food poisoning + babies"

And then plummeted downhill to pure lunacy:

"number of cases of botulism in babies in 2009"

"bad mushrooms + baby + liver + kidney failure"

Then, some clarity:

"Portland + pediatrician + 24 hour emergency phone number"

And then finally, after a good talk with the pediatrician:

"vote + American Idol + phone number"

So, sweet Tate is quite sick. He woke up happy but strangely not hungry...and then spent the day losing everything he has eaten in the past week. His sweet little (huge) belly has gone from Santa-Clause-jolly to sadly svelte. It was awful to see him so miserable and confused about what's happening to his body, and to not be able to make it stop. All I could do is just rub his head and tell him that he was going to be okay. I may sleep on his floor tonight, under his crib, just to be close. His pediatrician was immensely helpful and I'm not as panicked as I was a few hours ago.

Praying that tomorrow he will wake up his normal, happy, healthy, ravenous self. Will keep you posted.
