sick

i really really dislike sickness. 
sam has had an ongoing sinus infection, and just as it gets better, he gets it again. 
it's driving me nuts. 

our little family is usually a "cold" family. 
we get a lot of colds. 
bubba is known to get probably 6-7 colds through the year. 
we get used to it. 

but flu? 
luckily, it's passed us by for the last 3 years. 
the only other time bubba was up throwing up, was when he had RSV and therefor coughed himself sick.

until last night. 
oh my poor little. 
nothing is quite as sad as a little boy calling out in the dark
"mommie?! momma? i scared!" 

i was up the rest of the night with him, making sure he was comfortable, making sure he could sleep, and making sure there was a bowl in front of him when he needed it. 
because if i had to clean up vomit, i might.just.die.
(give me credit, i grabbed all his bedding and shoved it into the washer as fast as i could)

he snuggled his little warm body up next to me, tossed, turned, and was sick all night. 

i do not like sickness. 
and now he is playing, although not as hard as he usually does, and he takes many breaks to just lay down. 
we are trying to keep food in his stomach, (we've been successful with some dry cereal, and some peaches, and water) and just let him be as comfortable as possible. 
because being sick is NO fun. 
at all.
