Sick kiddos

Derek is sick.
So much of his life I have seen my precious boy sick. He gets it and it knocks him DOWN. FAST.
Today we went to the doctors and the doctor winced when he looked down Derek's throat. Not a good sign huh? So we have meds and Derek went to bed. Yes my boy who never sleeps is sleeping the day away. Getting up, throwing up and sleeping some more. Poor thing. I just want to lay with him and stroke his head but then Joseph goes in and tries to help BE BO bee beetee (Big Brother Be Better) and he covered him in baby powder. Which made him sneeze. UGH.
So we are staying away from him.
What is a momma to do?
