Andrew's Sick :(

So, I took Andrew to the doctor's today and he has double ear infections and a sinus infection. He also had a little conjuctivitis starting in his eye so they put drops in. He is on antibiotics for 12 days now to hopefully clear this up. His medicine is flavored like strawberry milk so at least he enjoys that part! But, this sick face makes me so sad! You can tell he is miserable and not feeling well.

Andrew seeing you so sick breaks Papas Heart. I wanted to cry myself when I saw this picture. Get better soon Buddy. Papa LOVES You and is worried about you. Tell Mommy Papa is keeping you all in His thoughts and prayers and if any of you need anything Just give me a call

I know, I hope this passes quickly!! Don't worry, though, I promise you he has the BEST around the clock care, haha! This morning he is still burning up, but once he takes his medicine at 8 (10 minutes) hopefully his fever will go down. Love you and I will let you know how he is doing.

I never doubted he was getting the best care available anywhere it is just that I will let you in on a little secret.... His Papa is the BIGGEST Worry Wart around when it comes to his babys and their babys which in my mind are my Babys too.So In a round about way I worry about Andrew and Riley like I worried and fretted over you and Michael when you were sick and trust me I did and still do.

Love Ya Bunches Dad

I know Dad, and I am also a worrywart just like you, so I understand all about that, that is why I told you not to worry, it is impossible not to worry, but I still have to tell you because I don't want to worry that you are worrying, haha!! Well, anyway, Andrew seems to be doing much better, the only downside NOW is the side effect of the medicine is diarrhea and we have already had two instances where he started dancing around saying "Momma, poop, poop, Momma" and so I scoop him up real quick, he is squirming in my arms clenching his butt cheeks for all he is worth and the minute I sit him down there is an immediate explosion. Poor thing, I feel so bad, but he has not had one accident, so he is doing very well with it. It is hard to fathom in my mind that 3 months ago he wasn't potty trained at all and now he is able to even hold in diarrhea, I am so proud of my little man. Anyway, I know this isn't the most dignified conversation in the world, but I am sure you of all people can respect that when it comes to your kids pride can come in the shape of anything, even minor seeming to everyone else. I hate that he is sick, but I am absolutely loving all the cuddles I am getting, and I have to talk all of those I can get!! He wants to be in my arms all the time, which is fine with me!! But, he hasn't had a fever since he took the first dosage of medicine, no more junk in his eye so far and he's not complaining of any pain today, so besides the small bathroom issue, he seems to be on the mend for good!!
