Sick bubba update...

It's been a trying last week for mama and dada's. Little Henry bubba has gone from a happy go lucky, milk drinkin', green bean eating toddler to a sick little guy. It started as croup and a fever and has navigated north and consists of super congestion, runny nose, flemy throat, and a crazy cough. He gets better than within a few hours is back to snotty nose and crabbiness. He has developed a rash over his tummy and is just not a happy guy. I knew it was bad when he wouldn't even drink his beloved milks. NOTHING comes between Henry and his milks, so you know it's bad when he pushes his glass away and goes, "NO, NO" We return to Dr Krell tomorrow to get the official verdict, if there is one.

Meanwhile, I am just existing...exhaustion and worry gets tough after 5 days of this. The constant whining and crying and falling over....my poor little baby. It's amazing that we, as parents, can draw some of the most amazing patience from our reserves when times get tough. Being a parent is one of the most amazing, exhausting, exhilerating experiences of my life and he's only 16 months old! YIKES!!!!
