Being Sick Sucks

I rarely get sick. Even a cold only briefly affects me for 3 or 4 days total in a year. I like to think it's because I have my hands in dish water 3 times a day and I compulsively wash them after doing all-things diaper related.

But my boys are sick. Ian had a fever all day yesterday that was only controlled with Tylenol. When the Tylenol would wear off his fever flew right back up to 102.5F. And he's not been very happy and is sleeping an awful lot too. Shaun's been fighting something all week and finally on Friday night it officially arrived. He's been waking up 3 or 4 times with a stuffy nose and cough for the past few nights. I'm not one to medicate my kids because I feel their bodies are fighting something so let the body do its job. But I hate to see such little bodies suffering. Especially Ian's. I want this cold gone fast. Thankfully I'm still healthy, knock on wood.

17 days!
