Sick and Tired

For the last two weeks Enzo has had a runny nose and a cough.  I had not thought much about it until Thursday night when Enzo woke up several times.  During the 3 am waking, he proceeded to tell me "Mama, I'm sick.  I need to go to the doctor."  My response "Ok, I will take you to the doctor in the morning."  While at the doctor, he told me "Mom, I need a shot."  I told him that I did not think he needed a shot.  He told me "Tell the doctor I need a shot".  I did.  The doctor and I laughed!  His doctor told me that he has a sinus infection.  She also thinks that he has some allergies.  So, he is on antibiotics and some allergy medicine.  He begged me to go to school.  His friends were planting flowers at school and he did not want to miss out in the fun.  So, I took him to school.  Tony picked him up that night and he said that he looked horrible.

On Saturday, we stayed home and played around the house.  I noticed that his eyes were really crusty.  Sunday they were horrible and he was horrible.  I cleaned his eyes out several times.  His sinus infection is coming out of his eyes.  Poor boy!  I told Daddy to close up the house and keep Enzo inside.  He ended up taking a 4 1/2 hour nap on Sunday.  He needed it!  I decided to stay home with him on Monday.  Good thing I did.  He laid around most of the day, not acting his normal self.  Monday afternoon, I thought we could go for a walk.  After that, it was down hill, his eyes were horrible again and he was miserable.  I am PRAYING that this is just a bad sinus infection and not MAJOR allergies.  We shall see.  My Birthday boy needs to get better!
