Jan. 5th, 2009 09:20 pmWhen I drove out of the doctor's parking lot this afternoon, the clouds overhead looked like heavy legs with cellulite. It's been gray and drowsy all day; alas, none of us can actually doze, least of all Lap Boy. He was up all night gasping over snot, and even in the daytime his cough was enough to gag him. I ended up taking him in. The doctor didn't say anything about his lungs, but she did find he has a double ear infection. We've given him tylenol and the Pink Stuff (aka amoxicillin) as well as smear him with Vicks Vapor Rub (I can't use the stuff without thinking of
jenny_moss 's Winnie's War now), but his head is still plugged and he's still coughing, and both apparently still hurt. I'm really hoping he feels better soon, but I don't expect us to get any sleep at all tonight, either. The horrible thing about being sick is that while probably the best thing to do to get well is to sleep, you feel so awful that you can't. My poor little guy. I'm worried about him and hope that he starts to feel better soon.
