So, it has been a week since Derek started his illness, and he is finally becoming his normal self again.  Last night he slept for a 5 1/2 hour chunk of time without waking up (the longest he has ever slept at one time in his life, I might add!), which helped him a lot.  His fever didn’t spike last night, and all morning he has been wreaking havoc around the house and grinning his silly grin. 

Even though it means I have to be back on my game – anticipating all the sneakiness – I am so happy to have my little guy back.  I have really missed his smile.

PS. My parents arrived on Monday night, and it is so wonderful having them here!!
