Under the Weather

These past few days at our house Wyatt has been under the weather. Tis the season I guess. On Sunday afternoon Wyatt started asking if he could "go see docer". Should have known then. By bedtime he was saying his ear hurt. After taking a look, I knew we would be making a trip on Monday to the "docer." So that was the plan. I had a few things to do before our doctor's appointment. Every place we went Wyatt ask "going to docer". If the answer was not yet, whew, we had a melt down. Finally, the appointment time came. Wyatt is the best patient for "Docer Pappon" (a.k.a. Dr. Patton). He sits up on the exam table across from me and does everything the doctor ask, even opens up wide so the doctor can see his "troat". Such a big boy! Yes, my little man had another ear infection. (It sticks to be able to diagnosis him, but not be able to prescribe for my child. Oh well.)
Last night was rough. One bad dream, unable to breath through the nose, fussy, thirtsy, out of sorts. Needless to say, comes with motherhood I guess, no one got sleep. So another day home with Wyatt. He felt under the weather, but wanted out of the house. So I took him to McDonald's for a treat. Wyatt didn't eat much, so I took his happy meal to go. In the car the sleepless night set in. Wyatt was SOOOO tired, but wanted to eat his cheeseburger. He sat there with his eyes closed, slowly taking bites. When I asked if he was done he would sleepily reply, "No". It was quite a picture. So, I hope a few more days of antibiotics and some great decongestant, a nap or two or three, and we'll be up and runny full speed ahead!
