Eli's Ailments in the past 5 weeks

Some of you have been wanting to see a picture of Eli's cast and so here is the laundry list of what my little monkey has "had" in the last month or so.


The broken foot. Notice the unnatural bump below his big toe. Not really a very convincing picture, but let me tell you.. it was definitely broken.

Him sitting in his jammies at 1:30 in the afternoon with his discharge papers and photocopied x-ray in front of the Children's Hospital E. R.

The whole gang was there... Way to go dad! So a day's worth of work missed, plus the bill for the E.R. .... plus the re- check in a week with the primary care doc... hmmm...
Then 2 weeks or so later the fever hits. 103.. for three days.. all he wanted to do was watch movies. Cars to be exact. over and over and over...
So when we got a nice day I said that's it and made him sit outside in the shade of a lovely umbrella and look at books. Notice the ear rubbing. That is his tell. He is sleepy and wanting snuggles.
This tell is a bit more obvious. The one where he cradles the bottle of Motrin and won't go to bed with out it or take his nap without it or get in the car with out it.. Sad.
He's now feeling mostly better except for the nasty greenish yellow nose as shown above. We invited a friend over because sinus infections are going around at their house, so we figured it wouldn't make a difference.

I feel like inviting the nurse from his Pediatrician's office over for dinner cause we've seen her so much lately. Maybe I should.
