A Little Bit Sick, Maybe?

Bubeaner with some coughing and sneezing.  He still continued not eating well as well as being fussy.  He is usually loves cuddling, but he preferred to be in his swing.  We, Pau and I, ended up taking him to see the pediatrician.  Dr. Z believes it may be a stomach virus or cold which would explain the vomit and reluctance to eat.  And his tummy was a little bloated.  She did not believe it was the flu because he did not have a fever.  But even Dr. Z noticed he was pretty "limp" when he usually is flirting and talkative.

I ended up going in to see the doctor too.  I had a low grade fever, extreme fatigue, sore throat and occasional coughing.  The flu swab came back negative.  YAY!  It appears Bubeaner and I may have the same thing.  But at least it's not the flu.

We didn't actually take any pictures today...a rarity in our household.
But doesn't he look cute?

He did do a lot better this afternoon eating.  We just decided to feed him 2 ounces at a time as often as he would take them.  It appears to be working.  Bubeaner did have a low grade fever before bedtime, but, after some Tylen0l, he was fine by the time he was asleep.

Matt continues to improve.  Poor guy is going stir crazy!  Can you imagine spending 4 days in the same room only leaving to use the restroom?  He was not thrilled because the doctor said we may not get the results from the CDC until Wednesday instead of Tuesday.

Yes, I've done it and it really sucks. Hospital bed rest is much worse than home bed rest. I feel for Matt.

I can imagine spending 14 days in the same room and not leaving at all!! =) I have heard that the CDC is WAY behind getting the flu tested.....
