It has been a long few days. Warren got sick last Monday. It started as a small cough which turned into fever and horrible phlegmy coughs and a never ending runny nose and not eating. Today, Sunday, is the first day he has signed to us that he wanted to actually eat again. I could get him to eat squeezies and bottles but for 6 days that is all he would eat. Poor little guy. But he was sooo happy today comparatively. He played on his own, he ate on his own and he would play games with us and not fuss unless he started to get tired. It was wonderful to start getting my little angel baby back.
Unfortunately Dallin started coughing yesterday morning. Granted, he does seem to cough a lot when we spend a lot of time outside so we think he has allergies but this sounded worse and it has progressed into something worse. His nose isn't running but he has a horrible cough and when Dallin coughs he sounds like he is about to die/throw up/cough a lung up. It is intense. He has a hard time talking because this cough is so consuming to him that he kinda rasps something out but not really. It is so frustrating! But I am trying to be nice because he also isn't eating and has a good fever going. Hopefully he will sleep better tonight. And I really hope that it doesn't take him 7 days to get over this like it did Warren! Mostly because when he is sick he just wants to sit in front of the t.v. the whole time and that isn't going to float. Especially since we just bought another pool that they want to play in and I don't want them doing it if they are sick. He should be taking it easy.
And then Tristan... My dear sweet Tristan. I frequently feel like Tristan is overshadowed by Dallin and Warren and doesn't get much attention. He doesn't really demand it either because he has always been used to sharing attention. But he was very cute this morning when I asked him how he was feeling, if he felt sick at all and had a cough. He immediately responded that he didn't want to be sick so he wasn't going to cough any more. If only life were that easy. I also wish I could look at life that happily.
