Well our luck ran out and our healthy boy came down with his first mystery illness. I picked him up from Mrs. D's house Thursday and he felt a little warm but by evening he was burning up. Of course I freaked out and I wanted to rush him to the urgent care because of course it was after hours. I called the after hours nurse and she was not worried at all. This made me feel much better. We were instructed to give him Tylenol every four hours and to call the doctor in the morning. So of course I did just that, even set the alarm during the night which probably would not have mattered because we were awake anyways, ha! First off we love love love our pediatrician and it always makes me sad if we can not get in with her (good thing that has only happened once!). Anyways, I was able to get an appointment and basically she found NOTHING! His ears were clean, breathing was clear, negative for strep. So we boiled it down to a virus. He is cutting both of his top teeth but the fever is too high for teething so we are pretty sure it is a virus. BOO. Virus mean there is nothing we can do. This is very hard for this momma and daddy. So the dr gave us her cell phone (one reason I love her) and sent us home. So Friday and all Saturday we battled this fever. I do have to say that Saturday it was lower than it had been Friday but it was still a fever. Anyways, he woke up this morning with NO fever and has stayed fever free all day!!! He is still a little fussy but MUCH MUCH better than the last two days. He has played and played and played today!! We have felt so sorry for this little guy and are so thankful he is on the mend!
Yesterday evening we, being our impulsive selves, decided to paint the house. So we got started and of course it got dark so this morning we got up and finished the front of the house. Brax had a blast playing in his exersaucer in the front yard while Mommy and Daddy painted. Have I mentioned I despise painting? HA! I love love love working on things and helping hubby so I got over it and we got the WHOLE front of the house done.
