Isaac had been fighting a bad cold the whole week before. The Tuesday and Wednesday after Halloween he had a fever, cough, and runny nose. He stayed home with me and watched TV shows and movies while I worked at the kitchen table. On Thursday and Friday he still had a cough and runny nose, but the fever was gone so he went to daycare those days. We left for PA Friday after dinner.
We got to Matt's dad's house around midnight. Isaac slept fitfully on the way there, waking up every now and again and fussing, then falling back to sleep. When we got to our final desintation for the night, he was wide awake and wanted to play (we expected this as this happens every time). Around 1, we decided to head to bed but Isaac wouldn't settle. He cried and screamed and just didn't want to sleep. We put him in bed with us and he finally crashed. We transfered him to the pack-n-play and finally went to sleep ourselves.
However, Isaac woke up at around 4am crying and not settling down again and just rolling around and crying/screaming. It took probably a half hour or so for him to go back to sleep (after we gave him some pain meds.. he just wasn't acting like his usual self and we KNEW something was wrong). He woke up for the day around 6ish. Let's just say Matt and I were exhausted haha.
Around 10 (after playing outside with daddy and Grandpa Terry), Isaac came in and crawled into Grandma's Cindy's lap where he proceeded to pass out.
He slept for an hour, then we had lunch and got into the car to get to Erie for Zack's party. He slept again on the way over there.
Isaac seemed fine for a while but around 6 he was being very clingy, whiny, and crying a lot. He wanted no thing to do anything/anyone and only wanted mommy. We knew that Papa Joe would be at the party that night, so we asked him to bring his medical stuff so he could look in Isaac's ears. Turns out Isaac had an ear infection BOTH ears. Poor kid! Joe was able to call in a prescription for Isaac and we got it that night (his cousin Jimmy also had an ear infection as well and we saw Danny at the pharmacy that night). We also alternated Advil and Tylonal to help ease the pain and hoped he would sleep better.
He did slept a little better, but only because he was sleeping with me (in a twin size bed haha). By Sunday I was ready to head on home haha.
It's now the following Friday and Isaac is doing much better. He started sleeping through the night again on Sunday (when we got home, which makes me think he also wanted to be in his own bed and not a pack-n-play) and he stopped being extremely fussy and crabby during the day a few days ago. He's still taking his prescription medicine but doesn't require pain meds anymore.
Unfortunately, I have no more pictures from last weekend, aside from the one already posted. I was just exhausted and with Isaac being clingy, it was hard to do pictures anyways that night.
I do have other random pictures from throughout the week though :)

One of the nights he wasn't feeling well.
He was watching his show and
just laid his down on my belly.

And these pictures were taken in September, but not on the regular camera we use so I forgot to upload them. They are too cute not to share.

That's all for now! :)
