Today was just as bad as I was afraid it was going to be. Brendan didn’t sleep too well all night and woke up this morning feeling a lot worse and with a fever. Bill and I had both been soaked with vomit multiple times before 8am. Our washer has been going all day just to try to keep up with clean rags, blankets and sheets. I thought I was going to lose it and felt terrible for having to pull Bill away from work so much for help. Trevor also had a fever but all day, that was his only symptom.
We got Brendan to the pediatrician’s office and they determined that he has a sinus inflammation and it is causing the super watery post-nasal drip that is making Brendan gag and throw up. The doctor also said that there was fluid behind both ears and that ear infections were brewing. So Brendan started an antibiotic again.
He just was miserable all day and whimpered and cried whenever he was awake.
Trevor handled the trip to the doctor’s well. He was only slightly more crabby than normal all day.
He stayed busy while we tried to keep him from bothering Brendan too much. He was “helping” put away clothes.
Brendan was held most of the day and he just slept and slept. His numbers are bad but not like the last illness he had.
We have a nurse for one more night, so we hope that Brendan will get some sleep and feel better tomorrow. If it is a viral sinus issue, it could be 5-7 days until he is fully recovered.
Trevor had a very active evening and video chatted with Gramma until bedtime. He went to bed like normal schedule at 7PM. But then at 8PM and again at 9PM, he has been up crying and he is started to sound congested too. We may hear from him again in the night.
Poor Brendan. He has such a worried face. I feel so bad for him and all of you. 🙁
I am glad I got to video chat with Trevor all through his dinner, and his bath, and his antics until it was his bedtime. He seemed to be dealing with his fever fairly well, I’m sorry to hear that he is now uncomfortable and congested, too.
I hope you all manage to get some rest before your 2 no-nurse nights with 2 sick little boys. I hope Bill doesn’t get worse, I don’t know how you will manage with 3 sick boys, and no help.
I tried to figure out a way to get out there to help you, but by the time I could do it, I’m sure you will all be better.
Thank you for letting me spend so much time with you virtually this evening. I was so worried all day.
I love you all. Sending hugs. Feel better soon.

So sorry to head Brendan is having s sinus infection and Trevor may have on too. They both look very sad and not their usual bubbly self, hope the antibiotics kick in fast.
