Our little man is sick

Kevin woke up Wednesday morning with a 102 fever and I did what any good mother would do....Gave him Tylenol and sent him to school!!! He had no symptoms, just a fever. I was a good mom this time and had him in to see the doctor Wednesday afternoon. Diagnosis: Viral infection that settled in his throat and chest. Medicine given: NOTHING! Lots of love and sleep.

Thursday morning he was still running a small fever so I thought Motrin would knock it out and he could make it all day at school. I WAS WRONG. Daycare called at 2:00 saying he had a 102 fever. I picked him up and we came home to cuddle on the couch. He fell asleep and when I woke him up he had a 105 fever. Oh my gosh! I freaked out. I talked to the triage nurse and I just had to wait for the Motrin to kick in. His fever finally started going down around 7:30 but it was still 102. This continued all night...

I stayed home with him today so he could rest and not be so active like he would be at school. He rested a lot and played from time to time. His fever stayed around 101 all day but as of 7:00 tonight, he was fever free! Hoping for a good weekend with my happy little man.

And I have to brag about Kevin's sign language skills. He is signing all the time now. It's great. He can sign: more, all done, dog, eat, milk, cup, daddy, mommy, book, ball, thank you, sleep and bath. It makes things so much easier when he can communicate with us.

Here are a few pictures of Kevin playing on his Mickey Mouse plane. He loves it!! Thanks g-mama. And yes I know he's only in a shirt and a diaper in every picture. What can I say....he gets comfortable when he gets home!!!
