Yesterday when Logan woke up in the morning, we heard a cough from him.  He told us that he had coughed a 100 times, and that he should not go to school.  He also did not have an appetite for breakfast.  But during the time we observed him, he had a total of two coughs, was still in good spirit and a temp of 98.4, so we told him to go to school as he was fine.  When I picked him up at the end of the day, the teacher reported that Logan did not cough much but he started to have a runny nose.  Afterward at home, he was still in good spirit and ate dinner well.  Unfortunately at midnight, we heard Logan crying aloud for daddy.  He said he needed to “choke”, and he did puke just a little bit into the garbage can when Stuart handed it to him.  He was very warm too.  We put a ice pack on his forehead and tested his temp, 101.7.  I brought Tylenol in for him; Logan immediately said no and started tearing so sadly.  He finally agreed to take it after some convincing.  I stayed with him to read a couple of books, then Logan agreed to return to sleep.

   The rest of the night was tough too.  Connor woke up at 3am and Logan woke up around 5am, so Stuart had to pay both a visit.  By 6am, I was so worried about oversleeping since it was going to be an important day at work, that I stayed awake and finally got up. Connor woke up at 6:45 and Logan was up at 7:05.  Logan knew that he was not well and that he was staying home.  He had hinted that he wanted to play a Xbox game.  I had a talk with him that he needed to stay low key at home to get well, no games, and have some quiet times to allow daddy to work too.

    According to Stuart, Logan was not well during the day, having teary eyes, leaky nose, a low grade fever, poor appetite and looking tired.  He did try to ask a few times to play the pirate game (Xbox), but did not put up a fight when denied.  He played by himself at times (Legos), but they played many different toys together as well as a couple of board games.  Of course, he also watched more TV than usual for a school day.   Tomorrow Stuart is taking a day off to be with Logan and we hope that everyone gets healthy again quickly.
