My poor, sick monkey




My poor little monkey, Jacob, is sick. He has been running a fever, which even got up to 104 degrees. Momma was of course, freaking out... I hate when one of my boys is sick!! :-( I feel so helpless! The pediatrician couldn't squeeze him in, so we went to Urgent Care which was..........NOT URGENT!! It took 4 hours total and the little man slept on me for most of it. His body heat made me sweat like a pig. Attractive, huh? ;-) Hey, I didn't mind, I just wanted him to feel better! That dr. said is was bronchitis, maybe pneumonia. Then, I got news that a child at his preschool had the swine flu. When I got that news (after leaving the urgent care....) I FREAKED OUT!! I got him in today to see his regular pediatrician. Chris took him and the dr. said it was just a plain old viral infection. WHATEVER!! The boy is coughing up a lung like he's been smoking for 50 years! The breathing treatments help, but at this point, it is painful to even listen to him try to sleep (try being the operative word). You know the boy is exhausted when I asked him if he was ready for bed... and he said, "Momma, I don't think we should read stories... I'm super tired!" WTF! That boy usually wants to read at least 10 stories!!! Poor monkey!! So now, we are just waiting for his little body to fight the infection. I am thankful it's nothing THAT serious (flu, etc.) but still upset he isn't feeling well.... On another note, Michael is a TASMANIAN DEVIL!! That boy is fearless and looks for trouble! He is TRULY a monkey and tries to climb on every single thing. Warning- do not turn your back to him or let him out of sight!! :-) Off to sleep.. hopefully none of the other peeps here get sick... xoxo
