There are lots of hard moments, being a parent. But the worst days are when your sweet baby is sick. We've been passing around sniffles, sneezes and coughs in our family for a good month now but no one really got taken out by that cold...that is, until Tuesday morning. Right about 5:00, Travis woke up sobbing, drenched in sweat, shaking, even breathing quick. He was undeniably sick. A visit to the doctor later that morning confirmed what I already knew: a bad ear infection. I'm so grateful for the right doctor at the right time prescribing the right antibiotic. Literally within 24 hours we had our boy back, nearly like normal. But the one day of overwhelming sickness reminded me again how much I completely love this little guy. In our sickness, we're so helpless, so needy. I'm honored to be his mommy, the one he calls out for in the night, the one he clings to when he's sick. He took a long nap that day but I checked on him a lot (high fevers worry me). I had to snap a shot of my resting baby. :)
