Night waking = NO GOOD

When you have a child that is an angelic sleeper like Phil and I were
blessed with night waking pretty much equals grumpy tired parents! I feel asleep at like 9:30 last night only to be woken half an hour later by painful cries. I went in to see what the matter was andKoen was covered in sweat and inconsolable.


I brought him in my room to take his temp and change his clothes. He
kept saying "Elmo show" between sobs so I decided to break down and let
him watch a little while I changed him, gave him medicine and milk. The
same thing happened at around 4:30 AM, sweating, screaming and the eventual asking for "Elmo show" He has been super grumpy today and wont eat anything. Sick kids are so annoying. I have the hardest time, I know he doesn't feel good, but the winning and crying really kills me. I finally got him to eat like half a Popsicle and drink a yogurt. About an hour ago I realized he has white bumps ALL over his tongue. I think he must have Hand foot and mouth or Thrush. ENOUGH ALREADY WITH THE SICKNESS! I called the Doc and she isn't in today, so they are having the nurse call me back. Anyway here are some pics of what Koen has looked like ALL day. Also I have been trying to record him singing the Elmo's world song, but I can never get it. He sings it all high and says "Elmo show" instead of world...it is the cutest thing.

Poor little guy! I hope he gets feeling better and you get some sleep! It is so sad when they are sick. And sadly it seems like they always pick up something from somewhere.

Oh poor KoKo...the only thing worse than sick kids is being sick yourself and having to take care of kids that are sick or are not sick...both annoying.

I hate the hand foot and mouth disease! It is hard to comfort them and it is truly contagious. Fortunately you don't have other children right now that would end up getting it. I'm sorry he's been sick but at least your getting everything out of the way for when you come to visit. You'll be healthy and footloose and fancy free!
