There is no running in my house today...no giggling or laughter. There has been an extremely silent little boy on my lap today who only has said..."more Mickey, juice and nightnight" all day. Sammy has run a very high fever (103.9) all day and has felt so miserable. Poor baby! I have had difficulty getting it to stay down lower than 100. He is just so stoic. I am sad to think of what hapened when he was ill in the SWI. Did they just keep him secluded in his bed all day? Did anyone cater to him? Doubtful. Did he lay there in silence? He has not been "programmed" like my other children that being sick earns you exclusive rights to the couch, the tv, any snacks or drinks you feel up to and unlimited snuggle time.
He seemed not to know what to do...even snuggling was uncomfortable for him..his little body was just so hot! I finally get his temperature down long enough for him to eat something and play just a bit and up up up it goes again.
Today has been miserable for him, but atleast he is with his family. No suffering alone in a bed. He has been hugged, cuddled and loved upon by everyone. We have been waiting on him hand and foot and barely is there a time when someone is not sitting with him, cuddling with him or trying to make him smile.
We will keep praying for healing for our little one...and will keep praying that one day he wont feel that he has to be so stoic when he is ill....Goodness knows noone else here is :-)
1 little notes from friends:
Bless his sweet little heart! I hope Sammy feels better soon. Maylee ran a little fever a couple of weeks ago for the 1st time since she has been home and I had the same thoughts running in my head. It made me so sad for her, but I know your family is probably just like mine. We are making up for lost time with lots of hugs and kisses and extra special attention!
