Our First : (

Fever......

Daniel woke up in the middle of the night on Sunday / Monday and was up for hours, just all hot and fussy. Mommy gave him some Tylenol and slept on the couch with him until 2:30, when he went to bed until 5:00. Mommy had never prayed so hard as she cuddled him to her chest. She has a cold, too, and just asked God to pile it all on her, because she can take being miserable better than her lil boy.

When Daddy got in from work, Mommy took Daniel's temprature under his arm and it was 101.4. As soon as Mommy was it go into three digits, her heart leapt. She gave him Tylenol again, and it went down to 99.8 by early morning. Mommy thought Daddy was going to have a nervous breakdown, and she was secretly glad that he was at work last night, or she's afraid of how he would have reacted!

Mommy & Daddy took Daniel to the doctor that night, and his temprature was 100.4 in the office. Dr. Cheek said Daniel has an ear infection. We had never met Dr. Cheek, but he seemed like a nice man, even if Daniel cried while he looked in his ears.

So...

For the next 10 days, we are on some antibotics (for free thanks to Publix) and Motrin when needee for his discomfort.

Good news - his fever seems to be gone and Daniel is his usual sweet self, playing on the floor behind Mommy as she types.
