Sick Boy Update

Jacob is still a sick boy. :( He is in pretty good spirits, though, so that is good. He doesn't run around, but sits and plays with his toys and doesn't whine or anything. He still has a fever that goes up and down during the day. This morning when he got up it was 102 and was back up to that when I came home from church. His nose is a little runny too, but mostly just in the morning when he gets up. He doesn't have much of an appetite either. Poor little boy!

I went to church this morning while the boys stayed home (Alan woke up with a sore throat). This is what I found when I came home.



Isn't that just sad? He looked so forlorn and sleepy. Alan said he had been sitting up on the couch, but right before I came home, he just laid down. Very unusual for Jacob! I gave him a little lunch and plopped him in bed. I think he was asleep before I even left the room.

That is a potato masher that he is holding. Jacob doesn't find comfort in things like stuffed animals or blankies, but rather things like potato mashers and rakes. :P
