Another update, withe diagnoses:
Poor little fella has fluid in both ears (ear infection) and pink eye! wtf? I'm just semi-angry b/c it seems out of the 6 or so parents that send their babies/toddlers to Riley's school, we're the only ones considerate enough to "alter" our daily schedule and keep him home when he's got something that is contagious. I'm pretty sure I can pinpoint the two kids that gave him each illness. Ugh.
As a funny aside...the one kid Jim and I all call "Dirty James" is Patient Zero for this cold/cough combo...here's what a conversation will often be like between Jim and I over dinner-
Jim: So, how was the pickup from school too.
Me: Good, but ugh, Riley was totally playing with Dirty James when I got there. I know it's mean, but that little boy, although cute, gives me the skeevs..
Jim: yeah, I wish we could outlaw Riley's involvement with Dirty James. Would that be wrong?
Me: yes, it would be wrong but I wish it could happen-he's always wet, dirty, and booger-y just he's like Pigpen from Charlie Brown
Jim: Ewww, I'm trying to eat.
Me: Okay, I'll stop picking on 1 year olds..Hmmm, maybe they'll move.
Anyway, I know it's wrong to "make fun" of a baby, but sheesh, he's just one gross little dude.
Well, Riley is actually feeling pretty good (running around and being the little crazy guy that he normally is)...only slept with us last night for a few hours (he couldn't stop coughing and needed to be propped up in our bed) and then he took some good naps for Jim today, which was good, b/c I had to go to work and Jim was on Mr. Mom sick duty while working from home. Hopefully tonight will go better now that he's back on his meds (poor fella is on 3 separate meds!)
Dylan had fluid in both ears when he was just over 1 too. It's tough. He was on 3 different meds before it cleared up. Hope he feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteAlso, i had pink eye 2 weeks ago too. Picked it up from Dylan's preschool. Weird, right? Haven't had that since grade school. Give Riley a kiss for me!
Speaking of sick, have you been watching Project Runway?
ReplyDeleteWhen is Ricky ever going to be kicked off?
We have 2 boys like that at daycare....When the one comes over in the morning when John drops the baby off John tells him to go play on the other side...We wish they would move too...
