I can count on 1 hand how many times Christopher has been sick. He is 2 years and 5 months old and he has had 1 stomach virus (he was 1.5), he has 1 cold (well 2 now) and he had 1 virus or teething episode when he was alittle over a year.
About 1 month after Christopher turned 1 he had a fever 3 days in a row at 3pm. That was it. No other complaints and no other symptoms.
When he was 1.5 he had a stomach virus and vomited 2x.
When he was almost 2 he had a cold he could not get rid of and had to have an inhaler a few times a day for a week and now... now he has a cold and a fever (only at night) I took him to the doc today and his ears were clear, his throat was fine and his urine came back fine, so again just a virus that his body has to fight off.
I would say we have been lucky.... he has been sick far less than other kids his age but still I hate it. I hate that he is not 100% and there is NOTHING I can do about it. I have him in my bed sleeping right now (Chris has been evicted until he gets better). I just need to have him next to me in case he needs me. Hopefully tonight he will be without fever and he will be on the road to recovery. If he is not better by Friday I have to take him back to the doctor.
Today Christopher had to give a urine sample. This would not be so bad if he were potty trained, which he is not. So we stuck (literally) a plastic bag around his p*nis and waited for him to go. I made him drink a ton and sure enough he says to me Mommy I just went pee pee... I was happy he went so we could have it tested but now I know he knows.... so we are going to really try to potty train. He tells me when he has to poop and now when he has to pee so why not... We'll try. God knows he has full control over this. I am at his mercy.
