My Friday (my lovely Friday that you all know I love so much) and my beautiful weekend will be spent inside this house. My sweet little one year old has gotten sick. I feel so sad for him. He got so sick so quickly... I don't understand how they can develop a virus and a high fever in a matter of hours. I sent him to school yesterday morning and he was laughing and fine and I picked him up and he was acting normal, although, they did say that he hadn't eaten like he normally does. About two hours later it hit and he has been sick ever since. I hate to call the doctor over a fever and a stomach virus. I know the signs of dehydration and I know how serious it can be on children and that scares me for him. He has a slight fever of 102 and has had it since this morning at 7:30. I have given him Tylenol and I am awaiting the time when I can give him more. I am trying to decide if I should give him some Motrin in between times (that makes me nervous eventhough I have been told I could). I have given him two baths to try and break the fever. Anyway.... poor kid. My six year old has taken a mini-vacation to his nana's so he won't be sick too. My husabnd and I try to go to everything that either of our children have going on and tonight my six year old has a scrimmage baseball game and a tournament tomorrow... so we will have to take turns watching him, which make me sad. I hope everyone elses weekend is much better than my appears to be headed...
