Cody Plain Sick, Mommy & Daddy Heartsick


Around 2:00 on Sunday morning, JVL and I heard the dreaded, telltale sound of rasping over the monitor...and Cody has been on a downward spiral ever since. Poor sweet bear is as sick as I've ever seen him, and has been alternately weeping and putting on a brave face. He's still too little for us to give him any sort of cough medicine or decongestant, so we are just waiting it out...but the poor darling can't really sleep for coughing, and his nose and eyes have been streaming for 36 hours. We're hoping to keep Cordelia away from it, and in the meantime, have just kind of decided this will be a lost week. Keep little Cody Bear in your thoughts.

My heart is in pieces. He was up and down all night, coughing and crying. We'd get him juice and he would mumble, "Mommy, I just do not feel well. Something just feels so wrong. When will I feel better?" This morning he rested in my arms for more than a half hour, just staring straight ahead. And then finally burst into tears and said, "Mommy, I need you. Please do not let me be sick anymore. Please get me better!"

Oh yeah, and Cordelia began consolidating naps...from three to ONE...and is also sneezing...and my best friend moved away today. Yes. The day is that sucky.
Even Five Guys didn't help.

well, I ache for all of you. I'm so happy for Hannah but I know how dearly missed she will be. And Cody Bear, make sure to have a cup of tea with your Mommy. That always helps a bit. You are all in my thoughts.
