sick, sick, sick

That's what we all are....just sick. It started with Tyson on Saturday morning, waking up with a cold. His cold has gotten worse as the days go on. Now it's in his chest and he is having stomach pains. It's been hard for him to go to class but he has been making it work. If that wasn't bad enough, on Tuesday Owen began to run a fever, around 101 degrees. He was a little fussier than usual throughout the day as well. We put him to bed and throughout the night his fever increased. It got all the way up to 103 degrees! I was getting pretty nervous and after giving him some medicine and saying a prayer, it began to go down (right before we were about to put him in the tub). Thank goodness. Let's just say he had a terrible night and so did I. I was trying to take care of him all night so that Tyson could get some sleep. My poor boys!

Wednesday morning came along and Owen seemed to be better. His fever was gone! So I decided to head on over to a friends house thinking he'd be alright. It wasn't long after we had even gotten there that he began to go down hill. After an hour we left and he took a nice long, needed nap. He woke up and had his fever of 101 again....but luckily it stayed controlled with medicine. I called the doctor and we decided to wait until today for an appointment. Last night was another loooong night. The poor baby. Owen's only been sick one other time....the time he had his ear infections for a month. But I have never seen him this sick before and it is breaking my heart. You can see it in his eyes, he is just wasted. He just cries and cries and only wants me to hold him. He just rests his little head on my shoulder and mumbles little baby talk. I can't help but smile because he's just still so dang cute.

So this morning, I guess I've finally caught up to the boys. My cold ease attempt didn't help as much as it usually does. So now I get to have the cold. Unfortunately no cold medicine for me because I'm still nursing (I learned the hard way the last time I had a cold and took cold medicine for it...my milk totally dried up and I had to work for weeks to get it back!). I can't wait for his doctor's app. to check his ears. I am now totally paranoid that he's going to have another ear infection. Let's hope he doesn't! I could care less that I'm sick. I just want my boys to get better fast! Blah!
