Sickies

Ugh, what a week it's been:

This has been the toughest week for our sweet little boy.  I got a call on Friday that he was sick and needed to be picked up from daycare.  It deteriorated from there.  By mid-day his temperature was up to 104.  We went to the doctor that evening, but by the time we got there he had no temp (I had given him ibuprofen) and they found no visible signs of infection, so back home we went.  We attempted to go out that evening, but Grammy called to notify us that his temp was up at 105 and he was throwing up.  Home we went, and so began our weekend/week.  The poor guy's fever has been up and down....high 104s and then down...about every 3 hours or so.  He's been on Tylenol/Ibuprofen around the clock and had tepid baths, cold compresses, you name it.  We've had multiple conversations with nurses and two trips to the doctor.  Today he has been fever-free and we thought we were maybe in the clear.  I went to work in the morning, but got a call from Jeff by 8am to let me know that he was throwing up.  Ugh, he can't catch a break!!  Hoping that he will be better in the morning!  At this point it's been 6 days!!!  Send good vibes!

Poor little guy! And Mom & Dad. It is very stressful having one that sick. We know exactly how you feel, tired & worried. This too shall pass.
