Keeping Up

Jan. 9, 2006 - Insomnia and sick kids

A (21 months) is still sick.  He's had a fever now for 5 days.  I made an appointment to bring him in tomorrow.  He's still hydrated, as he nurses OK (though not great), eats fruit juice homemade popsicles, and drinks water.  I am pretty sure he has the flu--he has all the respiratory symptoms, and the high fever.  But 5 days of high fever is my personal comfort level for little ones, so I want to get him checked out.

And for the second night in a row, I'm having trouble sleeping.  I know it's the fact my routine is off.  Last night E slept on the couch, and A and I slept in E's bed (A sleeps in a toddler bed otherwise).  I just missed my bed. Tonight A would only go to sleep on the couch, so I have to sleep on the floor next to him, and I miss my bed.

I'm fighting the same flu, I can feel it.  And the lack of sleep doesn't help my cause much.  Now I also have to miss MOPS tomorrow, and probably my playgroup on Wednesday.  Hopefully he'll be better for his playgroup with grampa on Thursday.

Not much to this but whining, I know.  It's so hard to see him so miserable.

It's so hard when the little ones are sick! It's hard for them and hard for mom. Praying that you'll all be well soon...

he has a double ear infection. :( Poor guy. We started antibiotics and ear drops this afternoon. He is still gushing mucus, too. Hopefully he'll sleep better tonight, though. THanks for asking, it was a hard day today. Well, not all that hard if my goal was to have them watch videos all day :)
