Our poor little Avery is SOO SOOO very sick. He started coughing a little on Saturday and got a little worse Sunday and Monday, but to be honest, I wasn't all that worried about it because I just thought it was allergies. You know it is that time of year. Also, he hasn't really been sick. When he was tiny, just a couple of months, he had a small cold and ear infection, but besides that we have been so lucky, and not had much sickness with him. Lily was also so sick as a baby. It felt like she had dozens of ear infections before she turned 2. But they were never bad or close enough together to get tubes. It was definately talked about, but to be honest I am glad we didn't do it. She hasn't had an ear infection in over 2 years. So, my mom and dad watched the kids on Tuesday so Adam and I could get some stuff done around here. Mom called me around 2:00 telling me that Avery was running a little fever. Again, I wasn't that worried about it, cause she said he was playing and eating good (which are tale tell signs that my kids are sick). We had him in bed around 8:30 and thought everything was normal until about 11:00. He could NOT breathe through his nose. And he was running a little fever. I was in his room holding him until about 12:30 when he was finally asleep good enough for me to lay him down. Unfortunately, that didn't last long. Just as I was started to doze, he woke up again. It was somewhere between 1:00 and 1:30 and I was holding him until 4:45. Every time I would go to lay him down, he would wake up, and his cry was so so pathetic. I just couldn't lay him and make him cry. It made ME want to cry to listen to him. Finally, around 4:45, exhaustion took over and I went and made Adam get up and hold him for a while. Of course, Adam got him to stay asleep, and had him in bed around 5:30. Avery woke up around 7:30. I called and got him in as a work in (meaning a sit and wait). It wasn't to bad, though. We got there around 9:30 and were out by 11:30. Avery was so tired that as soon as we got back in a room he went to sleep. So he just has a bad sinus infection. But the doc said it was REAL bad. Luckily we caught it soon enough that it hadn't turned into ear infections yet, though he said that his ear drums were just bulging from all the pressure. He gave us some cough med, and antibiotic. I have to say that I LOVE the cough med. I had Avery down for his nap by 12:15 and he finally woke up around 5:45. That was a GREAT nap for us both!!! And he slept REALLY well last night!!! He is not really feeling better today, but I am hoping that he will be feeling better by tomorrow!!! I never knew that I could say so much about a sinus infection!!! I have a tendency to ramble...sorry about that. I hope that everyone is well!!! We love you ALL!!!!!!!
He is trying to smile through the sickness!! He is so WONDERFUL!!!!
