After Thomas rested on Monday he was good to go back to school and really got by pretty good. Two days later Sup got hit and he was hit pretty hard. This boy has energy to burn and he goes pretty much from the time he opens his eyes in the morning to the time he closes his eyes at night.
Wednesday morning after I took Thomas to school he wanted to go and cuddle with Daddy. So he went in and slept for about two hours. When he woke up he stumbled out of the room and wanted to just lay on the couch. I thought "umm this is not good". As I laid him down by me he was very warm..temp was about 103. After trying to get some fluids in gave him some medicine he was out again. His temp was at least down to a manageable 100. That evening came the vomiting, luckily only lasted til the early hours of the morning. That night Sup and I slept in the guest room and trying to keep fluids and keep his temp controlled. That morning Eric noticed his left eye was really red....
Now the poor kid had pink eye on top of everything else. Saturday his fever finally broke but his eye looked horrible and he was pretty much sleeping, if he wasn't sleeping he was just lying on the couch watching Disney but really not interested in the shows. And trying to get drops in this child was like a torture chamber for him. By Sunday he had the pink eye in both eyes and had all the cold symptoms and because of all the goop in his eyes couldn't even open his eyes. It was like they were glued shut. Trying to let me try to wipe his eyes was almost as bad to him as the drops. Eric and I were pretty exhausted and missed out little energetic Sup. Thankfully by Monday we started to see a turning point. He was telling us he "just wants to be healthy again". He was still sleeping a lot but when he woke up I could see that little bit of life coming back in his eyes. The red was going down and looking a lot better and the goop was not as bad. I think it was Wednesday before we started to see our healthy Sup again. And I think Friday before he got out of his jammies. So after missing school of a week and a half he was good to go back the following Tuesday.
Poor poor Sup. And poor poor Mommy and Daddy. Glad he is doing better!
