Sick Days

It has been a long time since we last posted any news! JD came down with a terrible cold last week and then I caught it. Plus, our computer stopped working in the middle of all of that too!


So now the computer is semi-functional again and so are JD and I!


JD came down with a cold on Tuesday and he seemed to be handling it pretty well - a little fussy, but overall, okay. But Thursday evening, he started having trouble breathing and we took him into the hospital. Thank goodness our doctor was still in! They gave him a breathing treatment and gave him some antibiotics, steroids (not the "we want to pump you up" kind) and some albuterol (breathing liquid treatment). Poor guy also had a double ear infection!


I felt like a terrible mother because I had JD out playing in the backyard on Thursday and he was happy as a clam! It is so hard to tell that JD is really sick because he is so happy-go-lucky all the time.


Here is a pictorial synopsis of our life last week. Keep in mind that as JD started to feel better, I started to feel a lot worse!

Day #1 (Friday) of JD feeling really terrible. Lots of cuddle time on the couch watching Super Why and The Wiggles.


Day #2 - Starting to feel a little better, but kept pooping out on the floor with blanket and bear.

Day#2 also: Spent lots of indoor time coloring and playing with Play Doh because mommy was feeling lousy.

Day #3 - JD is feeling like a champ, but mommy is having a rough day.

We survived another illness, but it seems like we just can't get ahead this winter! Too much hot and cold temperatures to get completely better.
