Flu, Flu, Go Away

So things have been a bit crazy around our house. Last Thursday Weston came down with a fever in the middle of the night that stayed around 103 for all of Thursday and Friday. I took him in and it turns out he has the flu. So we got a medicine since it was within the 48 hour window and the next day he was tons better. But he has continued to just be clingy, whiny, fussy, and not eat. Yesterday he felt warm again and today his fever is back in the high 102's. I hate seeing him like this. My little guy is super healthy and this is the sickest he's ever been. He doesn't play, eat, or smile. I wish it would just go away! Now I see why being a mom is so hard. It's not easy when you only get 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night to still do everything required of you! Anyway, hopefully he'll get better and our lives will return to normal some time in the near future.

It is hard. Especially when there is nothing that you can do for them! Hope he gets better soon!

That is hard when you're pregnant and he is sick on top of that. Hang in there it will get better:)

Oh, that is so hard! I hate having sick kids. And the sleep thing is difficult! when you are so tired, but you feel bad that they are sick. We were up all Saturday night with a coughing, fevered boy! No fun at all! Good luck! And just remember it won't last forever!
