Sick Little Boy
Jack spent Friday morning throwing up every hour or so. We took a 2 hour nap in my bed once he'd gone an hour without throwing up. After that we just sat on the couch together and read books and watched tv. He sat right next to me or on my lap, sucked on his nukie, held yellow blankie, and basically didn't move a muscle all afternoon. He was that sick. He seemed to perk up a bit on Friday night but then woke up at 3am very hot and fussy. We gave him some Motrin and he slept till 8. Today the fever returned and has stayed pretty high (102-104) all day. Despite alternating Motrin and Tylenol, the fever hasn't gone away. I talked to his pediatrician tonight and told her about the fever and how quiet and sleepy he's been today. She said that's normal for kids with fevers, but wants to see him tomorrow at noon. She didn't think we needed to go to Urgent Care or anything, just keep rotating the medicine and try to keep him comfortable. She'll check his ears tomorrow and hopefully give us some more advice. He's such a happy and active kid- seeing him so quiet and withdrawn cause he's feeling so sick just breaks your heart. Hopefully a good night's sleep will do him some good. I'll update tomorrow after the appt.
