Raising Arrows

Seems as tho this virus you have/had surely took it's time leaving. We spent all weekend home with you... even had to visit the doc again to make sure things were still looking clear. Your fever got pretty high 102.4 and you spent friday night into saturday morning moaning, groaning, and wanting held. I felt HORRIBLE. There was pretty much nothing I could do except hold you and rock you. So that's what I did. We spent a whole lot of time snuggled up with your blankets ... but we also spent a WHOLE lot of time watching movies and letting your rest. We had of watched Monster's Inc. at least 20 times - or that's what it feels like at least. :) but you enjoyed it, and you pretty much laid in my lap or on your blankets the whole time. Between the little movement you made and the little to no appetite you had I knew something was really truly not right. That was part of the reason we went to the Docs again... I was worried you were getting dehydrated with such a high fever an...

It takes a lot to keep you down. Yesterday you woke with a temp of 100.1, a cough that sounds horrific, and a nasty, gooey nose - all from a bad virus that is going around and taking kids out left and right. Not much the doc can "treat" as of now, your lungs and ears were clean and clear (which is a relief); but that doesn't help much cuz you still feel bad. :( And there is nothing in this world that is worse then having your own child sick and feeling bad and not be able to do much. Tylenol has been our friend, but even with that you ran a 100-101 temp all day today. After you soda bath tonight tho, it seemed to be going down in the right direction. it's horrible. i hate seeing you sick and achy. We've spent lots of time cuddling at in the evenings, and watched your FAVORITE movie - Monster's Inc. - quit a lot in the past two days. I took in the moment tonight, as I rocked you to sleep. We snuggle with your green blankie between you and I, with your fingers ...
