He can't be sick!!
So, Jeff finally convinced me to take Parker to Disney this weekend for his birthday. We tried to make reservations yesterday at a resort --BOOKED SOLID at any resaonable price. They said the cheapest they could give us was over $700 for Fri/Sat nights!!! Soooo ... we decided we'd keep looking around. This morning, Jeff finally secured a room at An Island Resort and Spa (a condominium place) for those two nights, totalling less than $150 after taxes and fees.
Well, Parker and I woke up to take Jeff to work this morning, since we went and picked him up and took him to dinner last night after playgroup, and his car was still parked at work. So, after that we went to Wal-Mart, and got home around 10 am. Parker was ready for a nap at around 10:30 ... he went to bed late last night, so I figured this was fine.
Fast forward to about 1 pm, when he woke up. He came out of his room, and sounded hoarse. He dry-heaved, like he needed something to drink. Got him something to eat and drink, and then noticed a runny nose. I thought it might be a fluke, but it has only gotten worse, complete with sneezing.
I don't know what to do?!?!? I mean, the reservations really can't be cancelled at this point. Jeff had been making all these other plans, including a Tea Party at one of the parks, a character dining at Crystal Palace with Winnie-the-Pooh, etc., etc. Do we just go and cancel all of the other things that didn't require pre-payment? Do we try and go to everything? I feel terrible that we'll be taking him with a runny nose, and exposing all these others to his yuckiness, not to mention him being icky feeling!! What a horrible way to spend your birthday.
