Halloween night. . . not up for trick or treating.
This was his first time being ill and I had a really hard time. I probably cried as much as he did. He had some sort of 'flu' that gave him fever/congestion/cough. Saturday night he was up every hour. The only way I could calm him was to carry him and softly bounce. We didn't get much sleep that night or the following but I realized how lucky we've been as this was his first time being inconsolable during the night. He is doing much better but still coughing and so congested. He's on two medications one for the cough and one for phlegm. It doesn't seem to be helping much he just can't get rid of the phlegm. Any ideas?
It's seemingly cruel to post pictures of a sick baby but I wanted to document it. (And show his 'stubborn' side.)
the "refusal" face
(can you tell it was a long weekend by looking at Jer's unshaven face?)
He instantly hated the medicine and quickly learned to close his mouth as soon as our hand came into view. We quickly learned who's the boss. As soon as we finished forcing the remaining medicine down, he chucked it up all over daddy. (I was going to take a picture but Jer thought that was a little insensitive as Crew had it coming out his nose and all over his face. It was a sad sight.)
Although Crew didn't get to dress up this year, at work they decided to let loose and have everyone dress up. Jer is a country bumpkin also known as Joe Dirt. Tai is a fighter. . . I forgot what kind. :)
The staff really enjoyed dressing up, giving the office a big boost in morale.

Poor guy! Having a sick child is the worst. It is so stressful and I always feel so helpless. I hope he is doing better and you are all getting some sleep. He is still really really cute when he sick. :)
I am sorry little crew was sick:( It is so hard to be up all night like that. We could of used you guys to keep us more organized for Halloween day. It was Halloween day when we put Jocelyn down for a nap and I made jon carve the pumpkin as I made dinner in a frantic to be ready in time. I hope that we will be better organized for Christmas. Are you guys still coming this month? if so when? I have a few names that I like but Jon has not given me any imput. I hope that we can agree on something for this poor little girl.
Poor guy!! How sad that he was sick! Isn't it the worst? Feeling so helpless because there's not much you can do to make them feel better!!! Oh how sad, I'm sorry you had to go threw that! He is still the CUTEST thing EVER though!! I LOVE all his facial expressions! He is SOOO CUTE!!! We miss you guys!! Can't wait to see you when you all come!!!
Ahhh poor lil guy!! That stuff is going around here like CRAZY as well!! K how can you be that sick and still be sooo incredibly CUTE!!! Oh I just can't wait to squeeze him!! We love you guys!!
Poor thing! We definitely know how it is to have little ones sick. Hang in there. Spoil him good with lots of loves and kisses!
Hey Sarah! It is good to hear from you. You look great and your boy is so handsome. We are in spokane right now. Nathan is in his last year at Gonzaga Law school and then we plan on moving back to Alb. Wow what brought you to singapore, that is exciting! Take care.
Oh, poor little guy! Being sick is no fun! But I had to laugh at his refusal to take his medicine! Rylee had that same stubborn streak and we would have to hold her and force her to take her medicine with her screaming the whole time. It made me cry the first time, but I got over it. haha :)
