more mouth poop

I think Leif has been sneaking out at night to lick the floor at our local emergency room. How else can you explain the number of random illnesses he has had in the last three weeks?

After we all recovered from the ebola-like Paris nastyness, he caught a doozy of a fall cold. Green gooey snot, crusty eyes, and a rattling cough.

Four days later and he had a painful coxsackie virus in his mouth, which caused him to have like 20 of those inflamed little tastebuds on the end of his tongue. He screamed, and screamed, and screamed.

Now that that subsidded like five days ago, last night he started throwing up and has a sizzling fever. He threw up every 30 minutes from 8:00 PM till 4:00 AM and is now sitting on the couch with his pink cheeks and watery eyes.

Since he is 28ish days from being a whooping 2 years old, I've broken down and let him watch a little TV. The boy is sick people! A little boohbah won't ruin him forever. I know it will rot his brain, and probably make him autistic, but to see him smile even a tiny bit right now is fanstastic. I hope he doesnt' start to ask for it, because that's just not happening.

Hopefully he'll get through this quickly and be back to his normal tiny evil self.
