Another gorgeous autumn day. Nicholas and I are back from Apple Fest in B'ville with Shawn and my nephews. It always seems we are away this same weekend every year and miss this festival. We are usually in Georgia and that is exactly where Johnathon and Shane are until Monday visiting with Sydney and family.
I had an extremely difficult time letting Shane go on Thursday afternoon. We have had quite the week with the poor little guy. It seems the double ear infection we thought we had conquered is still there. Off to the clinic to have him looked at as he was pulling his ears and had developed a couple of fevers. While at the clinic, his fever really spiked and the doctor was quite concerned and let us know what to do....which we did and were able to get him to go to sleep after a cool bath, some advil and lots of loving. About an hour after that, he woke up screaming and it turns out, he threw up all over the crib and himself. I have never seen him look so pitiful. All us parents know the complete helplessness we feel when they are so tiny and unable to 'tell' you how they are feeling. Thankfully, after that, he slept through the night. Since then, he has had a couple of low-grade fevers but the medicine helps and he is now battling the ear infections with a new round of antibiotics.
I have talked with Johnathon a few times and it seems Shane is just not himself on this visit and apparently Uncle Bill is the only one that he will really cuddle with besides Daddy. I wish I could just scoop him up and love on him but Johnathon did say that he was starting to run around and get more comfortable so hopefully since this morning when we last spoke, he is back to his happy self.
So, just when I thought we were through the battle (I am feeling much better now myself and will return to work Monday)....I just went in to check on Nicholas who all of a sudden seems very quiet. Well, there he is lying on the couch and tells me he is not feeling very well and that his whole body hurts. Ugh. Pleeeeease let him be alright! Please.

NOOOOOOooooo!
I hope he did not catch the awful bug :(
I feel ya sister - I am so over the sickness and kiddies not feeling well. Will keep the boys in my prayers and hope that you guys get rid of this soon. Hope Shane is feeling better finally as well though I am sure Mommy's arms and his own bed will make all the difference.
