Mother’s Day

This Mother’s Day was a lot different than I expected. Noah woke up with a high fever so I stayed home with him while Daddy went to church. But before he left, Noah gave me my Mother’s Day present!

A one hour facial and one hour massage! I’m so excited! I’ve never had either one done. It’s on my 101 list! Score!

And my sweet husband got me a new charm for my Pandora bracelet.

A flower that won’t die-according to my husband! :)

So I doctored on Noah for most of the day, giving him Tylenol and Motrin to control his fever.

That night, his fever rose to 103.9! I started freaking my freak. We stripped him down, got him in a cool bath and gave him some medicine. Luckily his fever came down after a late night episode of Little Bill (his favorite!).

Monday morning, I headed straight to the doctor’s office with Noah.

He loves pushing the little chairs around in the waiting room. I cringe thinking of all the germs floating around in the ‘sick room’!

He weighed 24 lbs 5 oz and had a fever of 101.7 at the doctor’s office.

And the verdict….his original ear infection from last weekend never cleared up. It got much worse and spread to the other ear. DOUBLE ear infections, a viral infection AND I discovered he’s cutting all four molars! No wonder he feels like crap!! He was prescribed a very strong antibiotic and a medicine to help his tummy because one side effect of the antibiotic is tummy trouble, plus we are to continue the Tylenol/Motrin dance.

The rest of the day, he played in a diaper box. :)

Last night, he woke up with a fever of 104.6!!!!!! FREAK my FREAK!!!!!!!! The doctor warned me that his fever would probably spike again so I wasn’t freaking out too bad. We gave him another cool bath, gave him a popsicle, Tylenol/Motrin and watched an episode of Little Bill (that always makes him feel better :)). This morning he woke up cool as a cucumber.

HOPEFULLY, we are done with the fevers for a while! I hate seeing him so sick. He and Daddy have been hanging out at home today and I am hoping that Noah can return to school tomorrow-as long as his fever doesn’t come back.

Please pray for my sweet baby boy!
