There have been better days

Yesterday is gone and that is a good thing....both Dylan and Mom were sick...Dylan went to the doctor on Monday with a cold...we are watching him closely but he seems actually to be weathering this cold stuff better than I...I went to the doctor yesterday was giving some antibiotics that won't interfere with the breastfeeding...Collin has been working and at a week long class in Greeley so Dylan and I are managing this solo....waiting at Doctor offices with a sick baby and me being sick is not fun...then lugging everything over to the pharmacy to get my prescription filled with Dylan in tow...we had to stop twice to breastfeed...I have a sinus infection along with a pretty good flare up of my asthma....so everything seems twice as long or twice as heavy when you can't breathe...the good news is that I am feeling a little better today and can actually breathe without coughing and wheezing....Dylan is also managing well...we both slept pretty well and making the most of such a pretty day here in Cheyenne...also Tuesday we made the decision to pull Dylan from day care for the time being...we have been discussing this for sometime....we just don't think he really likes day care and is not adapting to it as well as we had hoped...we will be able to manage just fine for the most part without it...Dylan can go to work with me quite a bit and Collin really only works 10 24 hour shifts a month so I should be able to schedule most of my appointments around that for work...not to mention that business is a little slower than the first part of the year...back to the daycare thing...when I took him to the doctor on Monday I asked if we should hold him out of daycare for his cold he said no...and also asked the daycare and they also said no....the Doctor advised us that as long as he is in daycare that he would be a sick little boy most of the winter...its just the way daycare is....so when I dropped him off on Tuesday for daycare...this is my one really busy day at work every week....and I picked him up 5 hours later...they said he had fussed most of the 5 hours and had not eaten at all....I took him home quite worried...he did not fuss the rest of the day and ate very well....it was right then that the final decision was made to keep him out of daycare for now....he doesn't deserve to be sick all winter and then have to be in daycare where he is not happy ...so with that he is now at home with Mom or Dad....happy and eating well...and hopefully he won't get sick this winter.....
