One sick puppy

I've never had to parent a really sick kid before. Kalyn's had small colds, diaper rash, and diarrhea, but nothing major ... that is until yesterday. She was up every 10-15 minutes Friday night and the only way she would sleep, for at most an hour, was laying upright on our chests. Luckily Jason could pinch hit some of the time, but now I understand why God made women squishy ... strike that ... soft. Laying on Jason's chest is like laying on a board, I am however, quite to opposite. She literally slept on me all day. And for anyone who knows Kalyn, if she's awake, she's up and walking, so to sit in my lap, let alone sleep on me, means she was one sick puppy. (picture is at the doctor's office Saturday morning-the prognosis, an ear infection). Luckily our sick little puppy was back to her normal self when she woke up today.

Oh, I'm so sorry! With Jackson's lung issues, I know EXACTLY what the all nighters feel like! Did they ever find out what was wrong? Poor dear...and poor Momma!!! Let me know if you need any tips and tricks of the trade! :)
