sick baby

My poor baby is still sick. He's had a fever for two and a half days straight now, even with Tylenol and Motrin every 4 hours he hasn't gone below 99.3. He's coughing so hard that he cries "owie" every time he coughs, and his binky goes flying across the room. We took him to the Dr Friday and he sent us home with a prescription for amox and Xopenex to use in the nebulizer for the wheezing he heard in his lungs.
He only sleeps an hour at a time, so you can imagine how exhausted we all are. Poor Taylor took the 1 a.m. shift last night because I had to work today. (we took turns the night before and I had to call in). I was grateful to come home early today because they were over staffed. I let my little boy fall asleep in my arms, and let my poor husband take a nap.
(Taylor took this pic, before he lied down)
I was cramping up so I slid myself out from behind him. I thought it was so funny that Mattie had the big sofa all to himself, while Taylor was scrunched up in the love seat.



I really hope he starts to get better soon..
