Dependent and Needy beckoning for Mama

My little boy has been sick. This is a new experience for me because Hannah was never sick until her 1yr birthday, she was actually sick on her birthday with an ear infection and fever. So my little guy 6mos old, he's been congested, coughing, and has a little fever. Hannah had a cold so I'm sure she passed it to him......this is also new for me, the reality of sharing sicknesses. One kid gets sick, probably all your kids will get it, and you just pray that you as "super mom" won't because you have to take care of everyone else. Anyway I took Caleb to the doctor after a night of crying, no sleep, I would hold him and he would just kind of moan.....it's those moments, I would absolutley do anything for him to make him feel better. He's so helpless and dependent on me to make it better. So the doc said he has a left ear infection, and a red throat. We started antibiotics and tylenol, and today has actually been a good day. He's back to sleeping in his bed, instead of sleeping on top of me in the recliner. The little guy napped for almost 7hrs yesterday (4 and then 2 1/2), yes I had to wake him up to feed him (isn't that against the rules...never wake a sleeping baby). Then he slept pretty good last night too. Anyway, all that to say, we're doing well now, just going through the first of many more bumps in the road I'm sure.
