The boys both felt pretty horrible this morning and JJ refused to even look at me.
I got out this old baby toy of JJ's today for Owen, so of course JJ decided it's HIS, not Owen's, new favorite toy.
We're pretty sick in this household and it's no fun. Last week both the boys had colds and I took them to the doctor. JJ's hasn't really gotten better or worse, but Owen got a lot worse. He had a fever for a few days and a horrible cough, so I took him back in this week and it turns out he has pneumonia. They put him on meds and hopefully he'll improve soon, but it's been a pretty bad week. Owen really likes the doctor though and was smiling at him through the whole appointment. The doctor always says we can come back anytime, but hopefully we won't have to go back soon.
He's such a tough little baby already. He had an ear infection a few months ago and now pneumonia, but he's still smiley almost all the time and of course JJ can always cheer him up. The only time he got upset at the doctor was when they put him in a torture device, aka the infant chest x-ray machine. It was pretty scary looking and super uncomfortable for poor little Owen. JJ was with me and he also got really upset because Owen was crying and was scared in the device. JJ is definitely sensitive when it comes to his little brother, so that's really sweet.
On a side note, Brian went to Athens, Greece this week. He called me when he was there and said, "Don't feel bad about not being here. It's basically just like Naples with lots of ruins, shopping, and places to eat." Apparently Brian has been traveling around the world soooo much that he can now be bored in ancient and historical places! What a hard life he leads ; )

Cute pictures! Reminds me of my grandmother who always said she would get more sympathy if she would just look sick when she felt badly. We surely hope that things get better soon in your household!!!

Love, Mom and the Dad
I had forgotten about Joy's comment; when I'm down for the count, I look like I'm down for the count. Glad the not looking sick gene landed in your kids. The top picture of Owen is pretty funny - looks a little unsure of what's happening! Cute. I hope everyone is on the mend - soon. Love, Rosalee
ReplyDeleteIts so tough when you're boys are sick. :( Sorry for you and them!! Hope they feel better soon. Elijah had walking pneumonia earlier this month, and Isaac had it last summer.. it's no fun at all and sounds so horrible. Those chest x-rays are torture for little babies!!! I felt so sad helping the nurse pin Isaac to it while he screamed. Anyway, your boys are too cute and I LOVE Owen's cute hat with the ears!!! Hang in there!!
