Under the Weather

a couple of weeks ago, actually 2 nights before Christmas, John Daniel
got the dreaded croup cough.
you know the one where they sound like dying seal barking.
or something like that.
ha!

he was back to his normal self by christmas eve
with only a minor, non-abrasive cough.
thank you jesus!

yesterday, i ran to Hobby Lobby to get a few things
and John Daniel started coughing and it wouldn't let up.
it was croupy sounding but on the same hand it was a wet cough.

he looked at me and said, 'i just wanna go home, mommy' -- break my heart!!

i got him home and he wanted some lunch.
my boy rarely skips a meal. ha!

his lunch consisted of a clementine and an apple.
then i laid him down for a nap.

he slept pretty good but woke up with a fever =(

we went to get elijah from school and took him to my FIL so he could listen to his chest.

and

lo and behold he has pneumonia and ear infection!!!

i was shocked! could not believe it!!!

he slept good last night other than waking up every 4 hours burning up with 102 fever!!!
it was like clock work!!

bless his heart.

we have obviously stayed IN today.
pumping him full of juice and fruits and veggies!!!

he is napping now and i pray that he feels better quickly!!!



side note: i went into great detail b/c the whole reason i started this blog was to scrapbook our lives. sickness and all

mommy, will you hold me?

this precious boy has stolen my heart.

it has been a long time since this vivacious, energetic & fun-loving boy has said ;
'mommy, will you hold me?'

elijah, as rough & tumble as he is, he also is sensitive and compassionate. when he is not feeling so well, the only thing he wants is -- ME :)

all day to today he has been saying that he is cold. i'm thinking -- how the heck can you be cold when it is 90+ degrees outside? anyways, a few hours later he says it again and adds that his arms/legs hurt inside & that his head hurts. hmmm...not quite sure what this could be.
we were out to dinner with some of my girlfriends at a mexican joint (his favorite) so, i knew when he didn't touch his food that something was up. we ended up leaving early.

when we got home i made him a palette on the couch and took his temperature.
lo & behold it was 102 degrees!!!

i gave him some meds and asked him what he wanted.
he said, "mommy, all i want is for you to hold me?"
(tears)
oh, how i love this little man :o)
he has stolen my heart!!!

every night before i go to sleep....i thank the lord for the 'men' in my life.
He has blessed me with the most wonderful husband in the world;
He has blessed me with the two sweetest little men in the world;
