Tyler has had some summer allergies. Mostly he has been dealing with it, but on occasion he needed to pop a pill to help him sleep. As everyone knows, we pretty much avoid drugs, but a lack of sleep is just the pits, so I can let a few Claritin pills go.
Well, while on our nice, relaxing time away last weekend, Tyler started to feel worse and worse, even after the Claritin. Then BAMMM...sinus infection! So he laid low for all of Monday after our court finalization and was well enough to go to work on Tuesday. Then Tuesday I started feeling sick...first the throat, then the stuffy head and then the headaches and clogged ear. ARG! (SORRY DAD AND KATHLEEN, I hope you stay well!!!) I didn't get to experience my usual 12 hour, get-over-it, keep-moving thing. So Wednesday I was dragging, trying to care for the kids, but still avoiding too much contact as to not spread germs. Thursday, Tyler had to stay home from work to play "mommy".
Tyler asked Tate last night, "Did I play mommy well today?" Tate answered with an enthusiastic "yes!" He really does do an excellent job of running the house!
We noticed we could hear Chase breathing on Wednesday. And for the first time in his little all-night sleeping career, he woke up! I think he just has his fingers in his mouth, tries to breath in his nose and can't and wakes up. Tyler went in and with a little soothing, he was back to sleep in no time. What a trooper! So today I took a picture of Chase, here he is "sick"
He still smiles, laughs and plays. He isn't even that clogged, we can just hear breathing. His head is a little warm, not even enough to worry and take his temp. And the only other "symptom" he has is sleeping. He is sleeping like 3 hours longer than normal..WOW! Tate hasn't showed any symptoms yet, thankfully.
