Boogers and Ear Infections and Amoxicillan, OH MY!


The plague has hit this house hard!  Jackson was sick two weeks ago with a horrible cold.  Last Sunday, he started complaining he didn't feel well.  After fevers on/off and being sent home from school with a green nose faucet, I took him in to Urgent Care.  Raging ear infection.  After a week of "Does your ear hurt" today was the first day he was acting like himself.

The pic above is a little boy who crawled between my back and the couch to play with my hair and promptly fell asleep on my shoulder.  What you can't see is the line of drool running down my back.  When he would get sick when he was younger, he would crawl off somewhere like a wounded puppy and fall asleep in the oddest places.  Now when he doesn't feel well, he will only sleep in his bed or on me.  Poor guy.

This week is Feeding Tube Awareness week.  Jackson has had his g-tube since he was 18 months old. It's scary to think where he'd be without it.  He's still a skinny minnie, but at least I know that he's getting a large part of the nutrition he needs while he's sleeping.  Now that's talent!

Object du Jour:  J had to take Monkey George to school today.  I hope they remember to send him home.  Bedtime would be ugly.
