Snot, Puke and so much more

I jinxed myself. I committed that fatal error of voicing my amazement that our household has remained so healthy this year.

Kaelen is sick. As in not just a cold. What started out as an innocent runny nose on Wednesday night has now mutated into some nasty disease producing vomit that is fluorescent green (yes - snot balls), a bright red chapped nose that would give Rudolph a run for his money, diarrhea, a mild fever and the worst part: a wheezing, rattling chest that is impairing Kaelen from breathing normally.

I am most concerned about the wheezing and Kaelen's struggles for breath. Being as asthmatic who especially suffered bouts of both bronchitis and pneumonia throughout their childhood, I can identify what my poor little man is going through. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that when he wakes up this morning, that he will be showing signs of losing that aspect of this disease. The rest can be easily dealt with.
