Where's my happy boy??

Well, these few days home between travels promised to be busy. Funny how none of those things that were so important to get done matter when you have a sick little boy. Yes, our kiddo is sick and it's heartbreaking. Yesterday morning he was his happy silly self, but since 4:30 yesterday, he's been running a fever between 103-104 and has been in our bed pretty much since then sleeping off and on. More off and on, due to whimpers/crys/thrashing. It is very sad. Marc is home with him today and will be taking into the drs at 1:45. He was so pathetic. He acts like he's hurting...so I am wondering if it's his ears again. Needless to say, Marc and I didn't not sleep well. One of us wanted to stay with him since he woke up frequently crying, so the other slept on the couch. And beleive it or not, the couch was the coveted place, since there was no sleeping in the bed with the kid. The funny thing is, is that even though he was so miserable...everytime we gave him a drink of water, in this patheric little voice we would hear a "Thank you, Mama" or "Thank you, Dada". So sweet!

Then I was called in to the downtown hospital this afternoon...which is not really a big deal, but just not routine. It was the hardest thing in the world for me to walk out the door this morning. Phew.

So I called Marc called me a few minutes ago and said that the kiddo did eat a little, but wasn't feeling any better and was actually sleeping (Finally). But we had no power. What in the world?

On a good note, during Marc's shift in the bed yesterday evening, I got laundry done, made a meatloaf for today (NO PIZZA! Whoever you are.) and it won't take much more to get our house in decent shape, so pretty much we are just packing up tonight to leave tomorrow after work. I do need to run an errand after work, but we'll see how that goes depending on how kiddo & Marc are doing. So, here's hoping that the doctors office can get little man all fixed up and better before this weekend, 'cause rumor has it that Santa dropped off some goodies for him there.

Update: Marc took him to the doctor and after checking him out throughly, he has your pick of the day virusm which mean tylenol and wait it out. Blah.
