Sunday night...what a weekend!
Well, I had tummy problems last week, and thankfully they went away. Last night we were babysitting the neighbor children (ages 11 and almost-3) when Daniel fell apart. His eyes were glassy and his cheeks were bright red. Fever was 102.3* so I gave him Motrin and put him to bed. He slept for an hour, then woke up complaining that his bones hurt. Sat with him a while, then he fell back to sleep until around 4:00 when he joined me in bed (poor dad had to go to the guest room). Then at 5:20 he woke up, throwing up. Thankfully that didn't last long...maybe 15 minutes? He crawled back into bed and immediately fell asleep. Not me, I lay there watching him and worrying and praying.
He slept until 8:00 and woke up feeling better. Fever was 100.5* but I didn't give him anything; decided to let his body fight it itself. No more throwing up. I went to church by myself. Brought him home McDonald's (he ate two hamburgers and some root beer) and checked his temp: it was 99.8* so that was good. Just before dinner, checked it again, it was 99.5* so I think the worst is over. He didn't eat much dinner; just nibbled and drank some Sprite.
Hopefully he'll feel better in the morning. I have a meeting to go to at 8:30 and promised to check in with the school secretary when my meeting is over. Told him to have her call his dad at work in case he needs anything.
whew
And I needed a nap today, so after I got his lunch and fed myself (leftover spaghetti from last night - yum!) I snoozed on the couch for an hour. Now I've cleaned up the dinner dishes and loaded the dishwasher and am DONE for the night.
I hope!
