Owyn is sick

Owyn and I were home today. It is always nice to spend a day with just one of the boys, and I don't get as much time with Owyn as I do with Rhys.

Owyn has been running a fever off and on all week. Yesterday it spiked and last night was pretty bad. We kept it down with ibuprofen and managed to get through the night. This morning it was lower and with the ibuprofen it dropped to just above normal.

He was more active once it dropped, actually moving around and playing a little. He ate a banana and had a couple of bottles. Mostly he either sat in my chair watching Sesame Street or sat in my lap.

He fell asleep in my lap at noon. He almost never does that. It was very sweet and I kept him there as long as I could. Eventually I had to go to the bathroom, so he had to go to bed. He woke, of course, and cried. I got him settled down, but he woke up after twenty minutes so I got him calmed again. He, again, fell asleep on me.

When he finally woke up Tracy took him to the Dr. Double ear infection. Wonderful. We have lost track of how many he has had. He is on anti-biotics now and we are taking him to the ENT next month. Hopefully they have some thoughts.

I hope he is feeling better tomorrow. He has been a very sad sight. Very cuddly though. I have to admit, guiltily, that I love how the boys just want to cuddle when they are feeling sick.
