The Lion Heart Fights What He Cannot See

 

Day 158:

Pretty sure it's nothing more than Spring allergies, Boy'O, but to be sure you're a congested and stuffy little guy.  It's clearly made your throat sore too because your cry has turned into a slight wimper unlike anything I've heard from you before...  Unfortunately there's not much either Mommy or me can do because you're not allowed any kind of cough medicine, and beyond that you're not running a fever of any kind... Just snot and congestion.  Yuck.  But you'll get through it.  You're the Lion Heart after all...

Good news is, you've not lost your appetite... That would be an indicator of a child with something more than just a fight against pollen.  No sir, in fact at one point you took a big bottle and then, within an hour, let me know it was time for another!  Over 10 ounces for you in 90 minutes or so?  That's BIG for you, Son.

Otherwise it was a day of chores, Conor.  Weeding, raking, mulching, painting, fixing... Productive Sunday.  I did manage to get out for a bit on the Harley though.  The morning would be perfect to get out and run the bike, and so I did.  Someday you'll join me on that morning ride, Son.  I'm sure of it.

I love you, Conor.  Feel better, Boy'O.
