Fever Boy No More

Ryan had a high fever for no reason for a whole week earlier in November, so when he came down with a 103 fever on Saturday I figured there was nothing I could do. By Sunday it was 104, so I hauled him back to the doctor. This time I got lucky. He had an ear infection! You have never seen a mom so happy to hear her kid had an ear infection! This meant antibiotics. Todd stayed home with him all day Monday, and I left my computer class on noon at Tuesday. He still had 104 fever and had to be held all the time. He was limp as a dishrag. So, I took him back in and they increased his antibiotic. Within 3 hours, the fever broke! He was back at daycare yesterday and is sleeping in his crib some. When he is sick we always have to hold him 24/7 and sleep with him in the recliner, so when he gets better then we have to break him from being held. Ugh. I also managed to clean up the house a little and finally put the ornaments on my tree (it took me until 12:30 am). Every thing always seems to go to hell when you have a sick kid!
