Sneaky sick bed

When someone is sick in our house we have a stack of blankets that get laid on our floor to create a bed. The sickie spends a night or 2 in our room and returns to theirs when healthy. We do this for a few reasons:

1. We have a bathroom in our room so the messy sickness are easily cleaned up with access to our bathroom.

2. It keeps contamination to our room and not spread within theirs.

3. If its a noisy sickness, they won't disturb their siblings.

4. I'm not walking down the hall 5,482 times to check on them.

5. It's comforting to them. We are close and it's something special when they don't feel well.

Tonight I came upstairs to find June had made himself a sick bed. I'm not worried. He has a cough and requested to sleep in my bed a few nights ago... I think he just wants some TLC so I will let him stay. He's very stealthy though. I not only didn't hear him setting up the bed but he didn't wake Emily either.

Here is my little cougher in his sick bed ;) :
