One Sick Boy

This is our new couch... and Isabelle wanted to show me her blocks... what a Monday...
Pretty sick for someone who doesn't take naps and falling asleep on the couch, looks deja vu from that post of Lindsay's with Jack sleeping...




As you know Christian has been sick, he seemed to be doing a little better Sunday but Monday I started the day laying in bed, sticking my hand out to catch gross amounts of mucus in my hand that he was throwing up. Delicious. He was super whiny, " I love you " he says which also translates as " I need you" at times like these. He then would cough once then throw up all his juice he had been drinking, this happened 3 times in addition to the mucus puke. He was lethargic. Laying on the couch, my new beautiful couch.. initiating it with water/juice vomit. I called the dr. We went in at 1:40 and he hadn't thrown up for a few hrs. He did however once in the dr's room, cough once, and projectile juice and water all over the floor, my coat, his leg, blankie etc; Amazingly he had no fever, I had to carry him the whole time and he fell asleep waiting. Turns out he has a double ear infection. ( he got a lot of sympathy in his pathetic state, especially when he kept saying, Mommy I love you... )Last year we all got this nasty phlegm/ cough virus and Christian's went into an ear infection then too. After giving him antibiotics at 4 pm he was still miserable ( he slept on the couch for a while) and became inconsolable at 7:30. I was worried, I gave him to Mitch to check out the internet to make sure he didn't have Fifth's disease or something since he was flushed on his torso, the symptoms didn't add up I came upstairs and Mitch said he was crying, fell asleep or a couple minutes, then woke up and wanted to play with his cars... SO WEIRD the meds finally kicked in I guess, so the once couch ridden boy was pushing his vehicles all over the floor, so that's great!! I felt like Mitch Benny-Hinned him or something while I was downstairs and he was miraculously HEALED. ( lol total joke)

"sticking my hand out to catch gross amounts of mucus in my hand that he was throwing up"

For future note, that is waaaaay too much information for those of us who are not mothers.

Ah yes, the one good thing about getting sick...getting to sleep on the couch. Looks like a sick little boy.
