Thankful.

Been busy keeping up with my little guy since he's sick. He had a lingering cough that turned out to be RSV. I was pretty familiar with what was in store for me since Ella had RSV when she was a baby, too. But she wasn't as bad off and didn't have double ear infections as well. My poor boy had alot more on his plate. Still I am in awe. You can tell just by his eyes that he feels horrible. He's not sleeping good. Not really eating as well as usual. Just feeling yucky. Yet when you make eye contact with him and say anything, you are greeted with the biggest smile. This boy will smile his way through anything and I love that so much about him.

Last night, after she'd been asleep an hour or so, I heard Ella yelling for me from her room. She said her tummy was sick and sure enough she ended up throwing up. Thankfully it wasn't that bad. It had been awhile since she had dinner. This was good for both of us. I let her come sleep in the bed with me until Randy got home and he put her back to bed. She woke up this morning with a fever, but she seems to be feeling just fine. Hopefully it's on its way out!

I was just sitting here thinking that in any other circumstance, this could be a really crummy day. Yesterday was long and exhausting and then today I have TWO sick kids. I've been dealing with meds every two hours and feedings every three and all the other stuff in between. But ya know..it really isn't that bad today. I'm thankful that I have kids that are just generally happy. They are smiling and having fun with each other despite feeling bad.

I'm also thankful for my husband who is working so hard to keep up with being a full time husband, and full time father, full time student, and part time worship leader and yet finds time to leave me flowers. It was late into the morning before I saw them sitting there on an end table. But they were there on the perfect day that I needed them. Just because.
