sick day.

we now interrupt regular programming to bring you pictures of my sick kid.

parker had a rough day on wednesday... i had never seen him like this.  his whole body was on fire & he was limp & lethargic & wanted nothing to do with anything other than lay on top of you & watch movies.  he didn't want to eat, he didn't want to walk or play, he just wanted to slip in & out of sleep & watch his movies.  

my heart broke to see my little boy taken away for a day.  i could probably count the number of words he said on one hand.  and while secretly we really enjoyed the cuddles, we prayed his little bug would be gone soon & he'd be back to his regular mischief-making ways before long.  

i think sometimes Heavenly Father throws in a random sick day just to remind us to enjoy the good ones.  because today?  parker was pretty much back to his normal self.  he slept in an hour & a half later than normal, & when he woke up he immediately asked to eat.  after wolfing down some oatmeal & toast we went to the doctor appointment we had made the night before {when his fever was spiking & he was panting for breath on my lap} to make sure everything really was back to normal.

and yeah, he seems to be fine.  just a fluke one day bug i guess.  but oh man, when your baby is sick?  it hurts your heart. 





but after all the pitiful little faces he made in the exam room, his true colors shined through as we walked through the lobby out the front doors.  he may have been a little under the weather, but not too down & out for this:


glad to have you back p-ray.

always glad to have your votes.

  14. So sorry to hear about the sick day. We had an experience a couple weeks back where we had to spend the day with E in the ER. All he wanted to do is crawl up on me and fall asleep on me. Everything is put on hold until he feels better.

    Glad he's feeling better.
