Having 2 sick boys in the house last night reminded me of having a new born again. It all equates to no sleep. I had the grand total of 90 minutes sleep last night. It's truly amazing how you just keep going when your kids are sick. I was awake with Brandon until about 4am and then once I finally jumped into bed Bailey woke. At about 4:30am this morning I finally got daddy awake as he'd been in a comatose sick sleep himself and I told him I couldn't do it anymore and that he'd have to go in and settle Bailey. I just knew it wasn't going to go so well last night once Brandon vomited all over me.
Luckily yesterday I had cancelled Karate class for today, haircuts for the boys too, swimming lessons for tomorrow and our wonderfully fantastic Mexican part tomorrow night. Just as well I did because once I took the 2 boys off to the Doctors this morning Brandon was diagnosed with pneumonia and Bailey with a severe case of Bronchitis. I was suspicious that Brandon may have had pneumonia because I've had it before and I know the symptoms. Once we visited the doctors he then sent us over to get Brandon a chest x-ray. I was so unbelievable proud of both boys. Words can not describe how absolutely fantastic they were through the whole medical process that was unravelling before us. They listened, they waited, they were respectful, and they were just the most perfect kids ever except they were sick. So we went back to the doctor and he assessed the x-ray and gave the boy's a script. Then we headed next door to the pharmacist to get the medication made up. By now Brandon said in his loudest voice "I want to go home!" I think the pharmacist may have hurried our order a long a little because we were out of there relatively quickly. We all piled into the car where I rang daddy to let him know what was happening. Meanwhile Brandon fell asleep in his car seat. So Bailey and I hung out for sometime. Bailey was happy sick. He has the worst cough but he smiled and laughed and was probably even cheekier than normal.
The afternoon just passed us by and Brandon hardly moved from the lounge. Bailey rode his bike all around the house and took great pleasure in pretending to crash into Brandon and then actually crashed into the TV unit. I went off to work and the 2 boys and daddy had a very quiet evening with Brandon actually requesting to go to bed. I put both boys to bed and now I'm going to eat anything representing food before then falling into bed myself. Who knows how much sleep I'm going to get tonight. Hopefully a lot!
