oops, sicker than i thought!

caleb's had a cough for about two weeks now but I didn't think too much about it cuz it wasn't too bad and he didn't have a fever.  this past friday, though, he was feverish after i picked him up from school...but that night was his graduation so we decided to give him meds and take him to graduation.  poor little guy...i felt so bad for him because you could just see throughout the entire program (which was freakin' hella long) that he was in pain.  he was singing the songs (all TEN of them!) and doing his hand motions, but he just didn't have his usual spunk while doing it.  when it was done we gave him his leis and he immediately asked to take them off and he wanted me to carry him.  we quickly got out of there, got him home, changed him, gave him medicine and he fell right to sleep.  monday we took him to the doctor and it turns out he has walking pneumonia.  he's been coughing like crazy every night...luckily brynna sleeps through it but dave and i aren't as lucky.  i feel like we're up more than we're sleeping cuz he's coughing so much but dr said the coughing will help to get the mucus out.  i doubt he'll go to school this whole week...and then next week is his last week of preschool.  i guess next time he (or bryn) has a lingering cough, we should just take them in...but i also don't like to take them in for every little thing cuz i figure they just gotta build their immunity.  i wonder if bryn will get as sick as caleb has during her first year of preschool.  she just seems to be a much hardier little girl...i really believe it's cuz she sucks her dirty thumb and builds immunity to all the germs on her thumb.  heehee.
