All Stuffed Up

Declan has a cold. He has a continually running nose. When I brought him to daycare I warned Kelly that he would need Kleenex. She told Tyler that Declan was sneezing once every 5 minutes. Poor kid.

When I got home from work Declan was all congested. First time I've ever heard his voice with nasal congestion. He was eating his dinner, very slowly and with his mouth open so he could breath. That's when I realized "oh hey, he normally chews with his mouth closed. What a good kid." I never noticed until he couldn't close his mouth.

He was tired too. Kept yawning.
Although every time I commented on it he told me he wasn't tired. 

Declan has a short bath and got all cleaned up but he just wasn't himself. 
When we put him to bed he protested and cried (it's his new, every freakin' time thing). We tried just leaving him to calm down on his own but while I sat outside his door I heard him start to cough and choke. When I ran in his room he was laying on his back. Declan looked panicked and he had vomit on his face. I had him sit up right away to make sure he could breath and then I got the full vomit spew all over the bed, down the front of Declan and my arm. Had to yell to Daddy (over the monitor-how convenient) to come help so I could strip down the little guy while Daddy stripped down and remade the bed.

So I've been in his room to check on him every hour now. He looks perfect, sounds a little contested but he's sleeping well. I sure hope he's feeling better in the morning.
