As of last night, our entire household is sick. My husband has been sick (sore throat, headache, congestion) for about a week. Sam started his fever at 2:30 a.m. on Monday. Last night Sam, James and I all had fevers...Sam's being the highest...James and I being at upper 99. We ended up giving Sam a dose of infant Tylenol before bed...after he had projectile vomited his whole bottle contents all over himself, my husband and the floor. Poor baby! Sam woke up and needed comfort last night along with a small bottle (didn't want to give him too much in case his stomach couldn't handle it) and rocked back to sleep. He woke up several more times, but he just briefly fussed and fell back to sleep.
This morning everyone's temperatures are back in the normal range...thank goodness! I was going to call and schedule a doctor appointment for Sam, but since his fever is gone, and his congestion is not as bad, I decided to wait. Both boys are feeling poorly...evident by their extra fussiness and behavior. I am doing alright...mainly I just have a headache at the moment...however, I also don't have much time to rest, so it may all hit me later on.
I am hoping with one more day of resting at home, we will all be back to our normal selves in time for Christmas. We already had to cancel some fun Christmas plans for today (doing the holiday lights at the local zoo and riding the special train with all the cousins), so I am hoping we don't have to back out of any other fun activities.
I always feel so bad when my kiddos are sick. I am praying we are all on the mend and the worst is behind us.
