Sick

You know you're in for a rough couple of days when he appears at your bedside in the middle of the night and he's

on fire

.  To make things worse, Sam complained of a sore neck that night and again all the next day.   His fever wasn't too high until about 2:30 in the afternoon.  A high fever and sore neck was a combo I just couldn't handle.  So off to the ER we went. 

Thankfully, he didn't have what I was most worried about, Meningitis, but he was pretty sick.  A simultaneous dose of Advil and Tylenol didn't even work as quickly as the ER doctor was hoping for.  But after an hour or so, we were released with a diagnosis of "virus".  Once home, both exhausted, it was cartoons and juice time.  That seemed to do the trick!

Allergies are wreaking havoc on our little nest.

But watching Mickey Mouse cartoons - - with your pal Mickey Mouse - - makes it a little more bearable!

Sniffles

Sam got his first cold the last weekend of January. He had the basics - runny nose, cough, difficulty sleeping. But we got through it with lots of stories, Tylenol and a nap here and there.
