Today was an interesting day.
Got to Davis' house at a quarter to 11 and talked to his mom until he stumbled into the living room at about 20 after. Poor thing was all but convulsing his fever was so bad. Said he didn't want more medicine, though, but he was shaking so hard he could barely drink the strawberry milk he likes. So, I took his temperature, which was 104.8... no wonder he's been feeling so bad. I demanded the boy take medicine and by the time I left today his temperature had gone down to 98.6... whew. He had me a little worried for a few hours today, though. So hot, and shaking so bad.
I think he's on the mend now. He was almost back to normal by around 4 ish and generally stayed there until 8, when I left. Hopefully he showered and went straight to bed instead of waiting to hear if I got home safe.
Pray I don't catch what he had... even though it would be wonderful to have him over to pamper me like he promised to pay me back, I'd rather not have a fever of nearly 105.
I was glad I got to go, thoguh.... there's something comforting in the fact that I got to go be there with him as he felt bad. All my stress and worry went away, caring for him. I had energy until he started feeling better lol. It's also nice that he allowed me to be close to him...
I know, how corny that I can find things to be happy about when my boy gets sick lol... But I am glad I got to be there for him
