When a Child is Sick...

Doesn't it seem like time stops when you have a sick little one?  It drags so slowly, you just want to speed up the clock so that they will feel better and each morning during the duration of the illness, you wake up with new hope that today they will feel better!  Unfortunately, for ESPN today was not that day.  He has had a bad tummy since yesterday morning.  It is accompanied by a fever.  And it is rotten.  He feels so bad.  Last night the other kids and my hubby got to go out to dinner and poor ESPN had to stay home.  He would not have wanted to eat anyway!  But, I know he would have liked to go out to dinner.  All he wants to do is watch T.V. and be held.  It is so physically demanding.  I was really hoping that he would feel better.  Right now he is doubled over crying for daddy to "pick my up".  How miserable.  I hope that throughout the day his symptoms improve and that he will be back to his old self soon.  This is rotten!
