My Sicky Boy

Well, we returned home from Costa Rica on Friday and ended a great trip with a torturous day traveling. We arrived at the airport in CR at 4:30 in the morning and did not return home until 10:00 p.m. Needless to say, the 18 hours of airplanes, airports, bad food, and no sleep left us and Caden a bit grumpy (the 2 1/2 page letter that Cory wrote to Delta airlines provides the happy details of the adventure).
Although the trip was exciting and relaxing, we were glad to be home and settle in over the weekend. We were back to business as usual on Monday (just a little more tan) and things were going well. Yesterday Caden got a little cough and throughout the day it got progressively worse while he was at daycare. By the time I got home from work he was at home with daddy and he looked like a baby zombie. His eyes are puffy and red, he's got a raspy cough, runny nose, congestion, sore throat, fever, and to top it all off he had some projectile vomit last night all over the couch, floor, coffee table and mommy (yuk.). So, I took the day off work today and brought the little baby man to the doctor. Apparently he has an ear infection and RSV (some respiratory virus). Now he is on amoxicillin and 4 albuterol breathing treatments a day, which as you can see by the photo he absolutely loves. The doctor says he has to stay home from daycare for two weeks! So much for teaching this month - Cory and I will each miss a week of work.
Anyways, this update was meant to say that we really enjoyed our trip to Costa Rica... however, life has quickly shocked us back to reality. So, no more walks on the black sand beach or margaritas by the pool. Now it's naps between coughing fits and vapor treatments morning, noon, and night. Welcome to parenthood. :) I'm off to get my poor sicky boy to bed.
