Two Little Sickos Sitting in a Tree; C-O-U-G-H-I-N-G

Well, Harper was spending the weekend with his Nana, when she called to tell me he woke up with an ear ache and wanted to come home. I was sick, too, laying on the couch, but I know, when you're sick, you want your mom... So bring him home. We'll be sick together.

His doctor called in some meds and I picked up some ear drops. When he got home, he took his medicine and played... you'd really never have known anything was wrong.

Until...

Bedtime. Now, I've been deteriorating all day. And while he was sleeping, he had such a coughing fit, he projectile vomited all over the place. Ugh... I just couldn't do it by myself. I called Jody and he came over to help. I got H showered off, the sheets changed and in the wash, while J held H and comforted him. Thank goodness! He went back to bed and slept uninterrupted until about 7:30 the next morning.

Next day, I'm SO sick. I pulled a Harper and called my mom. BEGGED her to come help. Poor Harper... I couldn't even comprehend playing with him. Fortunately, he was content to lay on the couch and watch a movie with me for a while. That killed enough time for Mimi to get to the house. She took good care of us for the last couple of days. He felt great and wanted to play. I'm glad it was nice enough for him and Mimi to play in the backyard.


I took H to the doctor and he said that Harper had the beginnings of an infection in both ears, so it's good we got him on his meds on Saturday! He also said that Harper will be good to go on his swim lessons that start Tuesday. Can I get a hooty hoo?!

I still have a thermometer in Harper's room and he picked it up tonight and said 'I need to take my temper tantrum.' 'Yeah, bud? That's temperature.' 'Oh, ok.' Funny bunny.
