Shane's got a virus that's running it's course right now. He woke up crying at 3:30 AM this morning and I could hear the drainage over the monitor. I went ahead and grabbed my pillow and plopped down in Shane's room. Shane probably would have gone back to sleep on his own, but since he's sick I decided to intervene.
The boy fell asleep quickly, but it was not the most restful slumber. He kicked and fidgeted and snorted down snot for the next three hours. I managed a few zzz's myself and my caffeine habit helped prop me up through the day.
The snot should disappear in a day or so. Shane's fever started Friday, but it was gone when he woke up from his nap. He was crankier than usual, but it's hard to be cheerful when you're forced to become a mouth-breather.
A virus here and there is just par for the course with parenting. Shane's building up his little immune system, so that he won't get anything really nasty later.
