Ears, tummy, nose... Oh MY!

He seems to have forgotten where his own bed is as he has taken up residence in ours! I believe in the next couple of days Jeremy will permanently move into the spare room.


Looks quite comfy doesn't he??

All joking aside, my Bug has had a rough week. It all started last Friday when he started with the vomiting. Over the next 3 days I would have sworn he'd lost 5 lbs. He was looking pretty puny and clung to me like a shadow! We got one good day in on Tuesday. Jeremy called in sick since Landon shared his horrible stomach bug with him. We picked him up from school and took him to the zoo. He was pulling on his left ear in the car on the way there. It should have been my first sign. We had a great day spending some much needed family time together. Then midnight rolled around and the pain and crying started. Yep, you guessed it. Double ear infection and his tubes are pretty much about to fall out. The right one is barely hanging in the ear canal and has probably already fallen out since yesterday. Praise Jesus for Tylenol with Codeine. He finally slept well last night and gave us a nice 6 hours of bed to ourselves before he and his blanket made it to our room. 

Other than the day at the zoo and the trip to the pediatrician yesterday,  I cannot tell you what fresh air smells like or what the weather has been like this week. I feel like a prisoner in my own home. Or maybe a mother orangutan where all her little orangutan babies hang on her neck when they want to be transferred somewhere. If I have to watch one more Thomas the Train movie, or respond to one more demand for "milk milk!" I am going to DIE! LOL! Tomorrow will be a solid week of sickness. I NEED FRESH AIR!!! :)

This too shall pass! Hope you all have a great weekend.
