Cabin Fever

This handsome little man has been sick since before Christmas. The day after Christmas, I took him to the doctor because he'd had a cough for a while that kept getting worse. Turns out he had bronchialitis. I felt like a terrible mom- we'd been too busy with Christmas preparations and activities to go to the doctor before the holidays, and I just kept thinking, "It's just a cough, it will go away on it's own. And on top of that, I'd let him stay up late and eat junk because "it was Christmas." Poor kid! He got some medicine, and I let him have some much needed rest and extra TLC. Three days after finishing his antibiotic, his cough was back. I called the doctor, but because his cough went away on the medicine, and hadn't been back for more than 7 days, they wouldn't see him. He kept getting worse. Finally last Sunday (of course- the doctor's office was closed!) he had a fever over 103! All he wanted to do Saturday and Sunday was watch movies while being held. For those of you who know Dallin, that is not typical! He usually will only watch a highly entertaining movie for about half an hour. So Monday we were back at the doctors' office, and now he had an ear infection. They prescribed a different antibiotic. But 5 days later, the only thing it's cured is his fever- he still has the cough and the gross nose! And now I'm sick! The only thing worse than a sick kid is being sick with them. And the only thing worse than being sick with them is being sick pregnant!
