I think Blaine is sick again, he looks pale and hardly eating anything, he's clingy again, which he was last time.
"Hey baby" I say as I pick him up.
"Baby, you're burning up, do you feel alright?" 'stupid question really' I thought.
"No, 'e 'eel 'icky" he mumbles as he puts his head in the crook of my neck.
"Ok, did you wanna try and at least have some lunch?" I ask him.
"No"
"Come on baby, you've got to eat" I say as I take him to the kitchen and in his high chair.
"Daddy" he whined for me and made grabby hands.
"Sorry sweetie" I say and get him his lunch and quickly go back to him.
"Here, open sweetie" I say and he slowly obeys.
"Good boy" I say as he ate a bit. He ate most of it and started to look alright.
"Daddy pway" he whines to get out.
"Off you go then" I say and place him on the ground and he runs off to the living room to go play while I wash up, although we have a dishwasher. After I finished washing, drying and putting it all away, I suddenly hear Blaine being sick.
"Blaine?" I call out.
"E sowwy daddy" he sobbed.
"It's alright, daddy will clean it up" I soothe as I look at the pile on the floor. 'That's weird, it looks like his lunch, that's not happened before' I thought to myself as I looked at it in confusion.
"Lets get you cleaned up and some medicine" I say as I take him up stairs so I could run a bath for him.
"Daddy, ick 'gain" he says and I turn around to open the lid so he can be sick.
"Alright, alright" I soothe as I rub his back.
"Lets strip you out of these clothes" I say after he finished being sick. I place him in the tub and start to wash him quickly in case he's sick again.
"Daddy, ou'!" he whines and makes grabby hands.
"Daddy's nearly done, sweetie" I say and try to wash his hair.
"AAAHHH" he sobbed.
"I know, I'm sorry" I say and finish him off.
"Here, daddy's done" I say as I get him out and wrap him up in a towel.
"There we go" I say as he shivers and chatters his teeth. I put the back of my hand to his forehead and felt that he was really warm. 'He has a fever as well' I thought.
"Let's get you into something cooler" I say and grab a nappy and just some lounging around clothes, which is basically just a loose shirt and trousers.
"Want some socks?" I ask him.
"Eah" he mumbles. I put on a pair of socks and pick him up off the table and grabbed his monkey and everything else he wants, back down.
"Here, open" I say as I sat him on the counter and got the medicine.
"Mmm" he hummed.
"Come on sweetie, it will make you feel better" I courage and he obeys.
"Good boy" I praise. I sit him on the sofa and sit with him, he cuddles into my side and I wrap my arm around him. I get out my phone and dial Carole.
"Hello?" She answers.
"Hi, sorry to ring you, but Blaine's sick again, he has a fever and has threw up his lu-" I stop mid way as Blaine threw up the medicine in the bucket.
"His lunch and medicine" I finish explaining while I try to sort Blaine out as well.
"AAAHHH AAAHHH" he sobbed.
"It's alright baby, it's alright" I soothe.
"Ill come home" Carole says.
"No, no it's alright, I just didn't know what to do as he's never really thrown up his lunch or medicine" I explain.
"Well, lets see how he goes at dinner and if he throws that up, we'll have to take him to the hospital, ring me back when you can get a temperature, but for now, don't give him anything to eat" she explains.
"Ok, bye"
"Bye" I go and quickly get the ear thermometer and try to stick it in his ear.
"Daddy" he whined.
"I know, sorry" I soothe as I finally managed to stick it in.
"Good boy"
"Here, you want your dummy?" I ask him and he nods.
"They are" I say and pop it in his mouth. I finished the thermometer once I got Blaine's temp down.
"Hello, it's me again, he has a temp of 40.1" I say.
"Oh god, ok, well if it doesn't go down by the time it's dinner time then we'll take him to the hospital ok?"
"Ok" I sigh. 'I really do not want to go back to the hospital' I thought.
"Daddy's gonna get you some water ok?" I tell him.
"Nooo" he whines.
"Alright" I say and pick him up and taking him with me to the kitchen to do him a sippy cup of water.
"Here, can you drink some for me?" I ask him and at least try and get him to drink some fluids that isn't milk or juice. He takes the cup and drinks a little bit off it.
"Good boy" I say and kiss his head.
"Wanna watch Peppa Pig?" I ask him and he nods while drinking. I take him to the living room and sit him on the sofa.
"No daddy" Blaine cried.
"Baby please" I sorta begged. 'The only thing I could do is put Blaine in his pushchair' I thought.
"Daddy's only gonna get your pushchair and ill be back" I tell him and quickly rush out.
"AAAHHH" I hear him cry. As soon as I set up the pushchair and locked the car, Blaine was standing in the doorway, crying.
"Alright baby" I soothe as I tried to get it in the doorway. I tried to show Blaine that I need to get the pushchair in and that I can't pick him up at the moment, so I moved to tap him gently to let him know, but he decided to be dramatic and fall on his bum and cry even harder.
I put the pushchair just outside the front door, before going in and picking him up. I go back out so I can bring the pushchair in and finally shut the front door. I put the pushchair in the living room, before putting Blaine in with everything and putting on a baby's programme.
"Get some rest" I soothe as I put his hair back with my hand, before wandering off into the kitchen so I could clean the kitchen up and hoping Blaine would go to sleep. I go to check on Blaine and he isn't asleep, 'which is weird' I thought.
"Daddy" he whined once he saw me and made grabby hands. 'Darn it'.
"Baby, why don't you try and sleep huh?" I ask him.
"Noooo" he cried.
"Alright" I say and get him out. The rest of the day basically dragged on with Blaine throwing up literally nothing and not even sleeping. Right now we were all at the table preparing dinner, which was a roast. As Carole was serving the roast potatoes out, I was about to sit down when Blaine threw up all over his meal.
"It's alright baby" I soothe as I get him out so I could clean him up.
"Kurt? can you take his temp again?" Carole asks.
"Sure" I say and get the ear thermometer.
"Ill be quick" I whispered.
"43.5" I call out.
"Hospital here we come" Carole says.
"Carole your dinner, it's ok i'll take Blaine" I say and go to put his jacket on. I also quickly change his nappy on the living room floor.
"Ill have mine when I come back" I say.
"Kiddo? why don't you and Carole just get a take out on the way there?" dad suggests.
"Ok" I say and get a bucket just in case while I wait for Carole to get ready.
"See you soon" I say and we leave the house.
"Ill sit with Blaine" I tell Carole.
"Ok sweetie"
"I know Blaine, I know" I soothed as he just sobbed in his car seat. Blaine sobbed the whole way there and the way in.
"It's ok, they're with me" Carole says.
"Thanks"
"It's fine"
"So, what's the problem with this little guy?" the nurse asks.
"He's thrown up lunch, medicine and nothing really, took his first temperature and that was 40.1 then it got higher and went straight to 43.5" I explain to them.
"Right, ok and have you been giving him lots of fluid?"
"Yes, but just water though" I tell them.
"That's ok, can we take off all his clothes and leave him in his nappy" the doctor says.
"Sure". I say and start to strip Blaine.
"It's alright baby, daddy's here" I soothed. Once Blaine was stripped, they prodded, poked him and to tell them where it hurts on his stomach.
"You're doing great Blaine" I whisper into his ear while Carole held his hand and rubbed it.
"We're going to have to do some blood tests, so if we could have his arm please" they ask.
"Is it alright if I could try and give him his first milk bottle, that way he might go to sleep as he hasn't had any naps yet?" I ask.
"Sure, if you wanna do that, then we can get set up, so yeah go ahead" he smiles.
"Thank you" I do Blaine a bottle and cradle him in my arms while they get the arm that is closer to them.
"Sweetie, what's this?" Carole coos as she moves Blaine's monkey around to try and cheer him up and distracted.
"AAAHHH" he sobbed and the needle isn't even in yet.
"Here, look your first bottle of milk today" I coo, but still wasn't having any of it, so I gave him his blanket instead.
"If he doesn't drink anything, he will have to be put on an IV drip, just to make sure" the nurse suggests.
"Ok"
"Look baby, it's your bottle" I say and as he was crying, his mouth was open wide so I tried to put the teat in his mouth so he could feel it, but he didn't like that.
"AAAHHH" he just sobbed, he then decided to calm a little and put his head near my chest so he isn't facing any of the nurses and doctors. I pat his chest gently to see if that would help and it was. He was calm until the needle went in and it all started up again.
"I know the doctor is really mean isn't he?" the doctor tried to joke as he was sorting the needle out.
"AAAHHH"
"You did well, little man" he praised as he took some blood and the needle out. Later on, they hooked him up onto an IV and he was now sleeping.
"I can't wait to get out of here" I say to Carole.
"I know sweetie, but its better for him" she comforts as she rubs the back if my hand with her thumb.
"I know, it's just that we've been here so many times and I just hate it here" I sigh.
"It's all gonna be ok, I think we just need to calm down and think positive" Carole soothes and I take deep breaths.
"Thanks" I smile at her.
"No problem".
"Daddy?" Blaine mumbled as he stirred.
"Hey baby"
"E don 'eel so 'ick an'ore" he says.
"Ok, let's get a doctor or nurse" I say and then call for someone.
"Hello sweetie" the nurse cooed.
"How you feeling?" she asked as she checked him over.
"No 'ore 'ick" he says.
"That's good, did you wanna go home now?" she asks and he nods into his blanket I gave him earlier.
"Ok, well I'll just let you guys pack up and if you just sign out, you're free to go" she says.
"Thank you ever so much"
"No problem" she smiles and walks off. We pack up and leave and by the time we got home it was bedtime for everyone.
