it's been a while.....what an eventful week. mommy got sick again and went back to the doctor who gave her lots more medication and sent her for a cat scan. i don't really know why they had to scan the cat, but whatever. then, not to be outdone, i woke up with a fever early sunday morning of 103.7. mommy still went to work....she left crying, but she left nonetheless. she called tiffani about a zillion times. mommy's friend kim came from california sunday night and i was still sick. then, at 3 in the morning on monday my fever went up to--and this is not a typo--105.6!!!! one hundred and five point six. in the butt. so mommy took me to the hospital---she was still wearing her pajamas and i don't get that because she never lets ME go bye-bye wearing MY pajamas (another reason i can't wait to grow up). mommy was very very very upset with the people in the hospital (i don't understand it all, so i won't go into it) but they DID diagnose me with a fever. they are very smart.
then monday day (we haven't slept in 2 days by the way---me OR mommy) mommy realized that in addition to the fever i was in pain. i had a tummy ache. took her long enough to figure it out. so it was off to the doctor where they said i had an ear infection in BOTH ears. a new antibiotic. they gave me a shot of antibiotic at the doctor. and a stomach virus.
tuesday my fever went away but then the puking began. no eating. no drinking. no taking any medicine. auntie kim and mommy pinned me down, put me in head locks, smushed my face and tried to force medicine down my throat. but i overpowered both of them. i can spit medicine out from any angle.
wednesday it was back to the doctor because i haven't had anything to eat or drink since saturday night. my tummy still hurts. so, of course i won't take any of my medicine. damn they gave me another shot of antibiotic. can you believe my mommy asked the doctor if SHE could give me the antibiotics as a shot?!!!! my OWN MOTHER actually WANTED to give me shots. she is a very bad person. the new doctor, who is very nice to me and said i was smart, said i have a double ear infection on top of a stomach virus.
oh, did i mention that i have 2 molars coming in? yeah, that pretty much hurts like a bitch, yo.
so, here we are thursday. my fevers are gone. mommy thinks my tummy ache is better (it isn't) and i am just hurting because of my teeth. once i threw up twice this morning, she finally realized that in addition to having a stomach virus, the medicine is making me puke. she thinks i didn't know she stuck some in my grits. so mommy called the doctor again to tell them. i am sure the doctor said that i didn't need any more medicine, so i think it was just a special treat when mommy gave me this new yummy stuff i never had before out of a fancy spoon (the medicine always comes out of a syringe, and this was in a special spoon, so it must not have been medicine). today i had food for the first time since saturday. i had a few spoonfuls of grits and a couple bites of pear for breakfast. then nothing all day...then some grits, egg and yogurt for dinner. and i kept it all down. mmmmmmm.
we spent most of the afternoon in the urgent care tho because auntie kim decided that SHE had a tummy ache too (copy cat). i behaved and kim got percocet, so everybody is happy.
so. there you have it. today i have had (for the first time in my life) diarrhea like crazy. i got poop on my sock and mommy freaked out. i mean, come on, mom--it's just caca. so, to recap: 2 ear infections, one stomach bug causing vomitting 2 molars, diarrhea, mom had to call in to work again because i can't go to day care with the pukes or the runs. why do i feel like i need to say something about a partridge in a pear tree.....mmmmm pears.......
well, at least mommy feels better. and she will find out about the cats what was scanned next week. she is hoping she doesn't lose her job over all this sickness. me...mommy...me...mommy....me.....
well. i think i am getting better. i hope so, because i have been misterable. i mean miserable.
time to post. thanks for reading. and send my mommy some e mails beause she feels unloved.

Donovan,
You've had a rough few days kiddo (and so has Mommy!!!). Stop being so sick already and get healthy. Wish I could be there to help out with making you feel better. Did you really overpower Mommy AND Auntie Kim??? Either you're one strong boy or they're two woosy little women!!! Take it easy on Mommy and I'll be home to stay in a few weeks. And tell Mommy she is not unloved, but is actually very, very loved.
Love, Daddy
I hope you both get well soon! This is awful that you've been sick for so long. I'm sending virtual hugs (while wearing gown, mask, and gloves as I've had my own share of germs). Get well really soon, little buddy!
whew, little d, that is some baaaad stuff you got going on. i'm kind of sick too but no where near as bad as you guys! i used to have ear infections a lot when i was little too and i still remember how bad they hurt. you and mama hang in there. it's been a crappy winter for all of us but at least it hasn't been crappy on my socks!
