Poor Little Sick Boy

Just to follow up on my sick little guy.  In my last blog I spoke too soon!  He did not make it to Little Gym cuz his tummy ache got worse and he got a low grade fever.  Ohhh, poor little boy.  He's coughing, too.  And very snotty.  He slept most of the day yesterday, but woke up just long enuf to throw up all over the couch and floor.  Yuk!  What a mess.  Since he was asleep on the couch, around 7:00 last night I snuck upstairs to get some gaming in.  Yeh, I know, bad Mamma.  But Pappa was with him!  Soon he came wandering upstairs, looking like death warmed over, and asked to go to bed.  Yikes!  That never happens!  So, I excused myself from the game, put him to bed, read a quick story, and headed back to my computer.  What's that?  Cough, cough, gagggggggg.  Ack!  He did it again.  This time he managed to hit the bedroom floor.  So, I got him, and the floor, cleaned up.  Stuck him back in bed, and hoped for the best.  All the while, my buds are wondering what happened to me (the game, remember?).  I went back, explained the situation, and proceeded to lose really, really bad cuz I now had no idea what was going on.  That's ok.  Needed to keep an eye on the child, anyways.

So, how is he today?  He is the wonder child.  He carefully explained to me, after coughing all night and keeping me awake, that he was not sick any more and wanted to go to Little Gym today.  He's a mess.  His head is stuffy.  His nose is running.  His whole face seems to be chapped, expecially his lips and under his nose.  Cheeks are bright red.  But what is he doing right now?  Play Lego Star Wars upstairs.  He goes home today, late afternoon.  Whew!
