It started with a tired little boy Saturday night a week and a half ago. Boo-Boo was uncharacteristically tired in the early evening and felt rather warm. He had a slight fever but otherwise seemed ok. He seemed fine in the morning, so we went to church. But by Sunday night, he was cranky and irritable and feverish again.
By Monday night, he wasn't the only one. Mr. Blue-Eyes had caught the bug too. It seemed like they were just feeding off of each other all week. One day Boo-Boo was miserable, but Mr. Blue-Eyes wasn't so bad. The next day it was the reverse. The following day it was back to Boo-Boo...and so on.
I tried and tried to wash hands, cover coughs, keep them away from their sister. But by Wednesday night, she too wasn't doing so well. She's still not two months old yet, and it was awful to see her sick already. She had a horrible sounding cough, and she slept all the time...except for all night. Then she would wake crying whenever she coughed.
Mommy is now running on just fumes. After a week of interrupted sleep, I managed to catch the cold too! Thankfully, it doesn't seem like an awful one (yet?). I was so hoping for a good night's sleep last night since Cupcake was feeling better yesterday. And she did fairly well, waking only twice to eat (of course, she had been sleeping through the night before all of this came about!). But Mr. Blue-Eyes was up twice as well with earaches. So we're heading to the doctor's office this afternoon to check out his ears.
And I'm praying for a sleep-ful night tonight!!
