Today was just plain miserable. I don’t know what is going on yet with the boys, that is part of the frustration of it all. Trevor is cutting his last teeth (canines on top) and that could explain his mood, his pain, and his runny nose. It is running clear and no other symptoms yet. Or maybe he has a cold and it will get worse before it gets better.
\nHe cried from 5am through just after noon, with screaming, fits and tantrums. When Bill was able to take a lunch break, I put Trevor in the car and drove him around until he was able to fall asleep.
\nBrendan had a good night, but he was crabby and probably annoyed with Trevor’s crying all morning. He was jealous of me trying to comfort Trevor and pretty much cried all morning unless I was holding him and standing. He fell asleep during speech therapy and then slept for 20 minutes and was up for the day.
\nI am still weak and tired and just starting to be able to tolerate eating some things. I still have a bad headache and I am just drained, emotionally raw, mentally exhausted. Days like this are depressing and just drive home how isolated we are. I can’t have a kind neighbor over to watch Brendan so I can take a nap. <\/p>\n

After Trevor’s car nap, things got marginally better. I tried to get the boys playing, and it would last only a short time. Then they would be in to nothing but trouble. It is constant.

Trevor was obviously not himself

There were silly moments

Trevor wants Brendan to chase him, and he does. Sometimes they end up playing crawling chicken where they head right for each other laughing. Most of the time they stop in time, but there were some head bonks. <\/p>\n

As the night went on, Brendan started to do worse. He vomited quite a few times, bringing up slime and a little bile. I put him back on his mist collar and just tried to keep him comfortable. He did a lot of crying. You can tell he is not himself.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brendan is cutting teeth too, so it could very well be all the drool and irritation that is making Brendan gag and throw up. He is putting his fingers in his mouth a lot and gagging himself that way too. But I always am nervous that he is getting sick, especially when we just got over all the crud.
\nI have such a terrible time with the throw up, especially the gooey medical formula smelling throw up. <\/p>\n

I did my share of crying today too, but I can’t drown myself in self-pity because things could be a lot worse and we have gone through so much more. I hope we all feel rested and better tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
