Daily Double

Four days ago Cooper started to get a little runny nose. No big deal, a little wipe, done!
That little runny nose then turned into a little cough. No big deal, 2cc of Delsum, done! Doesn't take a MD to know that you can't do nothing more for a cold. Tim and I felt OK leaving him with his Granny while we went to Orlando for a while for a friends birthday. Keep Coop in doors with plenty of fluids, DUH.
When we got home that night we learned that while we were driving home our little man was puking his brains out! Not so much a cold anymore!
He woke up at 10pm screaming and continued until 3:30am. He did however take a half hour intermission around 2am while he and I drove laps around the neighborhood.
He fell asleep and as soon as the front tires hit the driveway, the break was over and the screaming returned.
Tim and I were out of ideas. Finally at 3:30am, after 5 miles of walking circles in the living room, he was out!!!!!
The next morning (Monday) he was not much different except now, he has learned how to sneeze 2 green snot rockets at a time into his mouth. Getting him to eat has been a blast! NOT!
He only wants ice water out of a sippy cup. I do think that is a blessing in disguise. I think this may end up being the end of bottles!!!
Long story short, as of this morning he has been DX with a double ear infection, sinus infection and a stomach virus!
He is one sick little boy! I am truly rethinking the idea of having 2 kids so close together. I kept thinking all night and day, " How on earth would this be possible with 2 kids under 2?"
I know it can be done, but man if I was stretched so thin with just him!
Keep Coop in your prayers for a quick recovery.
