tough week

Sorry, I haven't updated in a while or told you about the great party I had after the baptism, but I have been sick this last bit and have had a tough week. I am working on the party story, I promise!  Last week, I started to get some congestion and had trouble sleeping.  It got worse over the weekend, and on Friday night/Saturday morning, I only slept about 2 hours over 4 different segments...totally not my M.O.  I LOVE to sleep, especially at night, so my mom knew something was wrong.  Sunday, Nana came in because mommy was supposed to go to a conference in Galveston and she and I were going to hang out together on the beach while she was at work.  They decided that we shouldn't go because I felt bad still, and it was a good decision because Sunday night wasn't much better as I struggled to sleep, tossing and turning and coughing all night long. I was having a real hard time breathing laying down, but was fine when held upright.   Monday morning, my mom called the specialist and we left to go to Dallas to see him the very next day.  Dr. Argao saw me and thought my dosage of meds was too low for how much weight I had gained (a good thing) and that this higher dosage should clear it up.  He said that when I lay down, the acid goes into my sinus cavities and causes my congestion.  He also cleared me to eat cereal, fruits, and vegis (yea, finally the good stuff!).  We came back to College Station late Tuesday night and I thought I would be headed off to daycare to see my girlfriend the next day...I was wrong. I woke up feeling worse, so mommy went to work for a few hours and then came home.  I was kinda so-so yesterday, but woke up today with a barking cough and had a hard time breathing.  I did go to daycare for a couple of hours while Nana took her car into the shop and mommy went to work; they thought I might get better as I was up longer as I had all the other days, but it just got worse.  Nana picked me up and took me to the doctor here in College Station and she confirmed what Nana and mommy thought-I have croup....not fun at all.   On top of it all, daddy is still gone and won't be home for another week...like I said, a tough week.  So, the snot sucker, boogie wipes, humidifier, and of course binky bear are my best friends right now as I try and get better.

Until I get back to my old self,
The tot
