but gosh did I have a heck of a welcome to the month of November!
It began Halloween evening when after going to see G-Force in the theater, E's body decided to recycle all the popcorn.... That is NOT the way to be woken up at 3am.... 3 boys walking down the stairs crying, wearing recycled popcorn.... I took E into the shower and he was burning hot... took his temp and he was at 105..... Scary!
Showered him... re-dressed him.... took his temp again... still super high... tried to give him tylenol... it didnt take... so, back in the shower and repeat....
Decided against more tylenol...and put some warm washcloth's on him instead.
Went through 2 more bed changes....and he finally was able to sleep.
Woke up in the morning.... was gonna take him to the er... but... thought about all the flu victims that would probably be there... and decided to get him some different meds... bought him the chewables... and with the help of motrin and tylenol I had his fever under control by the afternoon. He was also drinking.... and even had some chicken broth... If I was late on the meds though... the fever came through.... you could tell he was sick....
Monday was a better day....but he did keep spiking a fever... but, he was very hungry and was eating everything in site! He also slept the better part of the day.... without tv.... so... I knew for sure he was not feeling well.
Tuesday he was supposed to have gone to school...but he still have a fever.... so I kept him home... even though it was picture day.... I did feel bad that he didnt get his picture taken with his class...but I'm glad that I didnt send him in. By Tuesday night though...the pre-sickness E was back!
The rest of November HAS to be better!!!!! *laughs*
E eating crackers in bed on Monday.... notice the smirk and the remote!
"What?
