My baby is sick. I am realizing how spoiled I am. He is generally pretty healthy and doesn't too often get really sick. He's got a fever right now, it's his second fever in his entire life. I know right?
This time though, he is so sick. It started Monday night, he puked all over me...twice. Then Tuesday he had diarrhea and although he appeared fine, I knew he wasn't. I could tell. He was starting with a cough and runny nose, but something was just off. Last night, he had a rough night. He tossed and turned, crying in his sleep the entire night. I finally got up about 2:30 AM to give him some Tylenol and found him burning up. I stripped him down and he got a few hours of sleep but still was very, very restless.
Today, he awoke and just wanted Momma. He literally spent the entire day in my lap. Something just wasn't right and I had to go with my instincts. I typically don't like to rush to the doctor's right away, but I just knew he wasn't right. His sad little eyes, his listless body...oh my poor baby.
Well turns out he's got an infection in his chest and the doctor has him on breathing treatments. My girlfriend just blogged last week, about her little guy having to do treatments and I made a comment that I haven't had to give Leo a treatment in so long. I jinxed it. I hope he begins to mend. The doctor thinks by Friday the fever will break, if not, she wants to see him right away. I know he'll be fine by then, but I realized how lucky I am to have a healthy baby. He rarely gets really sick, sure he gets the usual run of the mill colds and runny noses, but I've never had to hold him the entire day because he just felt so bad.
So, we'll check back in a few days. Thanks for stoppin' by.

Oh, poor little guy. I hate it when they're sick. You are lucky that he hasn't gotten sick very much--it feels like Jonathan's sick all. the. time. But this sickness sounds pretty awful. Cuddle that poor little guy and watch lots of Cars :)
Poor baby! I had a bug like that last week - tossing and turning all night - it is not fun. Good thing your little guy has such a great mommy to cuddle him and make him feel better. Hope he gets well soon!
So sorry to hear he's not feeling well! That would be pretty heartbreaking and scary. Hope he gets well soon!
:( I hate it when they are sick. You have to take it 2 days at a time. That's a long time in their world, but that's when you start to see some minor improvement.
What helped Eddie was lots of sleep, humidifier, that machine, and not letting him breathe cold air, bundling him up (especially in the mornings/evenings on our way to and from grandma and grandpa's)
Today, Eddie is wonderful. As a matter of fact, I wanted to post a video of him laughing and playing! did you notice blogger no longer supports video?
It's so weird that i missed this post! I check yours & Lisa's blog at least 3 timesa a day (I know.....), but it is awfully sad to have your kid so sick.
I heard from Dani-O that he's never seen you RUN SO FAST in his life up the stairs because you heard a muffled statement from lil' Leo. Hahaha...my minds eye could totally SEE IT!
I think I'll go out & buy you some upgraded running shoes since you've officailly advanced to PRO level. LOVE YA!
I'm sorry that Little Leo is so sick, it is the worst! I know that he will be better soon, and back to his old- funny, sweet little boy soon! Sending "good" thoughts your way! :)
