Sick Son

Wow, ear infections and strep throat are a dreaded thing in our house. AJ seems to have both often. Since school has started back up I can't wait to see what gets brought to AJ now. FLU, sore throats, strep throat, you name is he has had it all last school season.
Aggrivation why parents send sick kids to school is beyond me. AJ has had it rough with illnesses since he has been born. Chicken pox, stomach surgery, flu, strep throat, ear infections. I just hope as he gets older the sickness stays away.
But with him feeling sick it is horrible. He wants to be held, and he cries there is nothing you really can do when you don't know what is wrong or when he can't tell you. So you try to get by until you can get to the dr. Last night after he went to the dr he laid around and napped. Although, AJ and mom got the bed, dad slept on the couch as so I didn't have to get up, and AJ would wake up move closer to me and lay back down. He was up every 20 minutes, he was burning up with fever, and was just so hot. I couldn't stand to have his hot body against me, but he was asleep and so it could be dealt with.
Medicine time is a favorite at our house, he fights with you until he taste it and then he wants more when it is gone.
Hopefully he will be over it soon and he will be back to his normal self. Playing, jabbering and making messes.
Be sure keep him in your thoughts, also be sure to keep Austin in your thoughts and keep your fingers crossed his CT scan reveals a clean cancer free bill of health.
Take Care.
