OVER IT!!!

So, Davis has been sick for about 2 weeks now. It started with his usual sinus infection and now it's turned into a terrible cough/runny nose/temperature of 101/not eating anything. We've been up with him for the past 3 nights. Last night was the worst! Apparently, all prescription cough medication has been recalled and we've been forced to give him over-the-counter junk. I gave him his first dose of NIGHT TIME cough medicine at 3:30 yesterday afternoon. It didn't do anything. Mind you, he hasn't slept hardly at all in two days. We gave him another dose at 7:30 and put him to bed at 8. He coughed and threw up and cried and coughed and threw up and cried and coughed and threw up and cried ALL NIGHT. So, we took turns changing his bedding and clothes throughout the entire night. Finally, at 2:30, I made us a palette on the couch and laid there with him until 7:30 this morning. He, of course, woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed. Me, on the other hand...not so much. I made Justin switch with me and slept in the bed for about 2 hours. Today has been interesting...Justin and I have been shooting coffee into our veins to just try and make it through the day. And 'good old' Davis has all the energy in the world, somehow. He's pushing through the runny faucet nose and smokers' cough doing circles around us.

He looks so pitiful...

But is fine enough to prance around with Doc's collar on his head...Getting the royal treatment with his Menthol Vapor Bubble Bath...I'll try anything at this point...
