It has been a long week, but Caleb is showing signs of improvement! Yesterday was our first fever-free day and his cough finally went from the barky croup cough to a congested one. However he is now coughing more and still tells us that his lungs hurt. He basically dissoloves into coughing fits if he does anything that involves movement, but don't think that slows him down! We ventured outside on Tuesday to ride his bike. It had rained the night before, so I had hoped it cooled things down a bit....if it did, you couldn't tell due to the humidity! But our neighbours had their sprinklers on and Caleb had a blast riding his bike through the "carwash." We also built a cave and spent the day reading, eating lunch, playing and watching movies from within it's cool walls. Caleb loved it so much that he asked to build it again yesterday. Since he has been stuck at home since Saturday I happily obliged and we had another wonderful cave-day! It really does help the hours tick by! His one outing since the ER visit has been to the dentist, where he reminded them about his model-patient status and wowed them with his perfect teeth! He informed first the dental assistant, then the dentist, that he was "three, then I will be four, then five, then a fireman!" He told us quite a while ago that he would be a fireman when he grows up...he will be a very disappointed six year old!
Today we get to go on a playdate and he is super excited! It is a tour of our local fire station! He has his fireman raincoat and hat ready to go! He also gets his new play pool for the backyard today, so stay tuned!
He was so excited to be outside, hunting for puddles in his spidey-boots!
Caveman Caleb in Tuesday's cave. He looks the part eh!
He added a front-part to the cave all by himself!
Wednesday was good for dancing! He had to stop often when it induced coughing spells, but he didn't care!
