A sick Wrigglebot.
Wrigglebot has been sick. There is something about baby sickness that just makes you feel so bad for them. Wrigglebot has a really bad cough, now in a grown-up sized body that doesn’t engender much sympathy but in just a little body the coughs shake his whole body. They wake him up, they make him cry, he is in pain. Every time he coughs, I wish it could be me that was sick instead of him. I would gladly lie in bed for a week in pain just to rid him of one restless night.
We have tried everything for him and slowly he is getting better. He can’t have any cough medication because he is too young so we have him on dimetapp and vicks and a vaporiser is constantly running. We took him to the doctor just to make sure he didn’t have a chest infection and his chest was clear, he had no temperature, no ear infection or throat infection and so it is all just a matter of waiting and watching. And so we wait and watch and pretend like it isn’t painful to hear him coughing and spluttering.

It doesn’t change as they get older. Of course with time they can comunicate with you, which makes the whole ordeal abit easier rather than second guessing what the problem may be, but you still have that feeling of wanting to trade places with them if you could… even at 20!
