Sick Andrew

I was just telling Jay the other day how thrilled I was that Andrew has been so healthy this winter (he usually has pnemonia) and I guess I spoke too soon. Last Saturday night he started running fever so I took him to the dr. the next day to find that he had RSV. While it's not a major deal for kids his age, it would have been awful if Anna has gotten it! So I quarantined him the next few days and (knock on wood) so far she's been fine. He started feeling better after about three days so he went back to school that Thursday. After school I gave him a breathing treatment and this is what I found after about a minute:


Poor guy was just so worn out from school that he couldn't last any longer. He slept for 2 1/2 hours that afternoon! He's pretty much all better now so I am thankful.
While he was sick that first day, I handed him his pop tart that morning and he said, "You're such a great mama." What a sweet boy! He also said during this sickness, "Mama, I need to eat...I want something square. I love square food!" Well if you don't know Andrew, he hardly eats anything except pop tarts and chips so I knew this was his way of trying to get pop tarts for dinner. It was so funny that I gave in...he was sick after all and not even eating chips!
