As I mentioned in the last post, Eddie has been sick since Monday. He has wanted to snuggle all day and all night, something that Saddie took advantage of. I was holding Eddie on my lap and he was fussing -since Saddie has realized that she makes Eddie stop crying, so she was pacing next to my chair. When I finally let her jump up (ever so gently - this dog is so smart) she snuggled into me and Eddie snuggled into her. He put his little head down on her with his arms wrapped around her - it was the sweetest thing. Anyway...this round started with just the sniffles and a cough for a couple days, and then on Wednesday his low grade fever in the morning turned into a 103.0 fever at night. We piggybacked some Motrin and Tylenol to get his fever down, and tried our best to keep him drinking whatever we could (pedialite is GROSS, by the way) - but we did stop short of our on-call pedi's recommendation to give him flat Coke. Now, I love Coke - I have a rather sick addiction to soda, but I refuse to give that to my baby. I had a hard enough time giving him pedialite and gatorade. Frank and I have seemed to dodge the bug so far, I am feeling it a little today. While Eddie coughed almost to the point of vomiting last night, I told him I would take the sick for him if it made him better...so maybe my wish worked! I honestly don't care if I feel like I've gotten run over by a truck - as long as my baby doesn't have to feel it anymore. Not to mention mommies can take DayQuil! :)

I do have a lot of posting that I'd like to get to (mainly my FOR BROOKE! post), so hopefully Eddie will get better soon so I can keep up - so far he refuses to sleep without me holding him, and is sleeping most of the day, so I have been glued to the couch and honestly, I have never felt more lazy in my life. So while you're sending the flowers some good vibes, send them to Eddie too!
