Seth woke up Friday with the snuffles, then woke up from his nap with a cough, a low-grade temp by bedtime, and spent most of the night in the guest room with me. We thought it was a cold Saturday and that we had it under control, so I went into work. By 5pm it was clear that that was a bad decision, and my relief came an hour early so I could get home to my boys. A snotty, coughy, high-temp sleepless night ensued, meaning except for an hour when I got home, Seth and I went to sleep at 7am. I decided to call in to work (which I can still count on one hand the number of times I have done that it six and a half years) and took Seth to PrimeCare instead. He looked so bad by the time we got in to see the doctor that they ran a flu on him, which was negative. They didn't have the RSV test, but he has a double ear infection, so I guess we'll find out soon enough if the antibiotics will help, or if he also has a virus that needs to run its course.
Nathan and I decided to take advantage of my unexpected night off and watch "You, Me, and Dupree" on demand. Seth chose to join us about 5 minutes into the movie, but he slept on our chests the entire time. We broke our rule and let him sleep in our bed last night, although that only lasted an hour and then Seth and I were back up in the guest room. He still had a temp of 104+ at 1 am, but hasn't had another one so far today. So after 13 hours of sleep last night, he spent 2 hours in my bed dozing/watching cartoons this morning, played briefly in the playroom, and is now snoring on my lap as I type this. The only thing on the agenda for today is my hair appointment, so he can nap the day away for all I care...as long as he promises to sleep again tonight!
