Harry was sick and stayed home from school today. Not really sick,
but he had a cold sore on his bottom lip. He usually obsesses with
the itching and pain until he makes them swell and
bleed. So I kept him home to keep an eye on him
and keep it medicated. He generally feels lousy when he has
these...although it's been a good year since he had a break
out...and he took a couple of naps and laid low for most of
the day. One thing he did was to raise the blind in the
front room and watch....for his brothers to get off the bus.

Well, you're welcome, Silver. But I am the mom..and didn't really have a choice. Oh...wait...haha..you meant thanks for sharing it with you? lol. (ducks)
ReplyDeleteUhhh... yeah. That's what I meant. Sometimes the omission of only one or two words (if the writer takes their inclusion for granted in the reader's mind) can lead to such confusion, huh?
ReplyDeleteBless his heart...he looks so sweet by the window.
ReplyDeletethat is so sweet....
ReplyDeleteI suffered for years with cold sores and they are awful!!!
That is absolutely "sweetness". At first before I read on, I thought maybe he was watch all your birds.
ReplyDeleteWatching for brothers is sweeter.
I had been trooubled with those since I was a child but found that taking L-Lysine 500 mg three times daily would clear them up faster.
ReplyDeleteTo prevent them avoid the amino acid Arginine in the foods he eats. One big one to avoid is peanut butter and another is chocolate. Also take a preventive dose of two L-Lysine caps twice daily.
These are amino acids and there is no need to worry about taking them with meds.
I get the L-Lysine at Swansonsvitamins.com. The are
ReplyDeletea gelatin capsule with powder.
Very sweet indeed - sooo glad you shared!
ReplyDeleteOh, my heart goes out to my buddy! I'll bet he felt much better when his brothers got home!
ReplyDeleteThe older I get the more bothered I am with the little aches and pains and break outs...wonder what that means?
I think that when you have those cold sores..your whole body is out of whack...Cheer up little buddy! They do go away!
Joy ~ Click on the embedded link "cold sore". Zinc is also good for prevention.
ReplyDeleteaww...misses his brothers eh? hope it heals...
ReplyDeleteSo very sweet . I love my brothers too.
ReplyDeleteKim ~ right, it's a virus...I can tell he felt bad all over. He's much better tonight, though.
ReplyDeletethat picture says it all. I love it. What a sweet, sweet post about a sweet, sweet boy!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet...I hope Harry is doing better real soon : )
ReplyDeleteCat ~ he's much better. He'll probably go to school tomorrow.
ReplyDeletePoor Harry!
ReplyDeleteDo each of the boys miss the "others" when all three aren't together?
That really is a sweet picture. Hope you showed this to his brothers. Healing thoughts on the way to him for the sore mouth...
ReplyDeleteSome accurate prices for the ridiculously high gas!
Kathy G ~ They are so seldom apart that when one is gone they do take notice. The other two didn't want to go to school without Harry this morning. And they won't go to bed without each other. Kind of sweet, really.
ReplyDeleteYou captured a great moment with that last picture.
ReplyDeleteIt's a forlorn look (being a single brother) but also a heart warming to see Harry waiting for them.
I could cry reading that! Harry has always been the sweetest!
ReplyDeleteJill~ he really is just the sweetest boy. :)
ReplyDeletehugs harry!
ReplyDeletei hate cold sores too and know just how harry feels.
love the blooming shamrock btw!
Oh, he looks so cute, almost sad to be left behind...
ReplyDeleteSisters bonds are the same way.
And I get cold soars too, I HATE those things. I stay home too when I get one of those, I a simply to vain to be seen with a huge swollen lip.;)
Hope he gets better soon,
xoxo
Oh so sweet!! Sorry he has to deal with that cold sore! Those things are miserable!!
ReplyDeleteHugging you and Harry
SueAnn
Yes it is!! Precious.
ReplyDeleteThat IS sweet. =)
ReplyDeleteSweet, indeed! I hope he's feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHope he is feeling better soon! :-)
ReplyDeleteHope it doesn't last
ReplyDeleteAnd it heals fast
So everything gets back to norm
And they 3 can kick up a storm
Causing you a bit of stress
By making a mess
hahaha Oh that was fun
But now I am done.
That is so sweet!! I agree, those brothers are pretty special to each other. (I hope Harry's lip feels better quickly!)
ReplyDeleteToo special! :)
ReplyDeleteCold sores are so uncomfortable and I remember they felt humungous! It is nice that he and his brothers get on so well.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing what the boys do. They're sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh poor Harry! I hope it clears up soon. It's absolutely adorable that he was waiting by the window for them.
ReplyDeletehope he is doing better ...it really is a sweet photo
ReplyDeleteThat is the sweetest thing! Cold sores can be a real pain, I hope he gets over it soon.
ReplyDeleteSweet story! Hope he's better now.
ReplyDeleteYep I can vouch for that. My 5 have an unwritten rule - look after your brothers backs first & then worry about Mum's reaction after!!

Another of my favourite lyrics Betsy : love is the sweetest thing.
ReplyDeleteAlan ~ so very true!
ReplyDeleteThey love each other and depend on each other as they are very close. It is a wonderful photo. I hope he has healed up a little and it is clearing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, LD. He's so much better and only missed the one day of school.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful bond these boys have. Thanks for sharing that story.
ReplyDeleteThat is just precious Betsy! I like the black and white look of it too!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Janeen
