Sick sick sick

Sick, sick, sick. That’s the only way to describe Spencer this past week. We came home from the mountains last Sunday and Spencer was showing signs of pink eye. Yuck. Unfortunately, it was pink eye plus fever and congestion! I took him up to the doctor Tuesday morning thinking he might have strep. No strep and the doctor said it must just be a virus that had to run its course.

Well, it has run its course and it’s been brutal! His eye has been so incredibly swollen and red, he cannot breathe out of his nose, and I have never seen so much snot come out of one little boy’s head! He just kept saying all week “I not feel good.” Poor, poor buddy. By Thursday, he was still so bad, I took him back up to the doctor.

Even though he was really pitiful he was still in fairly good spirits and my happy little buddy!

They did give him an antibiotic this time to try and help with the eye infection and also gave us a prescription decongestant. I was hopeful that would clear it all up quickly but, no such luck. He continued to get way worse. Even after 2 days on the medicine, he still looked like this.

He obviously wasn’t sleeping well and Robert and I were getting up SEVERAL times each night to wipe his nose, etc. Finally on Sunday he seemed to start to turn the corner. His eye is still swollen but looking a little better and we only had to wipe his nose 130 times instead of 170!  🙂 I kid but it really does seem like it’s been that often! I’ve honestly never seen him so sick. I’m hoping he continues to get better and no one else gets this mess because we have too much fun Christmas stuff coming up to be sick!

Need a little palate cleanser after all that sick? Yea, me too. Here ya go…

I’m ready to start seeing smiles like that from Spence again!
