It just so happens today was an ice day so Josh and I were going to spend the day playing and reading and learning how to walk. NOT! He woke up with a nasty fever. I was wearing Daddy's big fleece robe and he just snuggled up on me and got his thumb. he proceeded to stay there until Daddy got home to relieve me at 1230. His fever at times was over 103. It was sooo sad. We got some Motrin on board and next thing ya know, he was on the move. That lasted for about an hour. We decided to go ahead and take him to the doctor and sure enough....a double ear infection. She said it may even be the flu. We go Friday for his one year check up (day after tomorrow) and if he is still having fevers, then they will do a flu swab. By the time we got back from the dr. he was back down and feeling bad. He perked up a little before bedtime. But we gave him all his medicines and laid he down. He only protested for about 3 minutes and he is out. i went in and tucked him in and it seems as though he feels cooler. Hopefully he will be able to sleep tonight. if he wakes up he can come sleep with us. I would be lying if I said I didnt enjoy cuddling and taking care of him today. But oh did I cry when he was feeling so bad. his beautiful blue eyes turned the color of stagnant water. he just kept saying "mom-mom" in his pitiful little sick voice. But i would kiss his hot little forehead and tell him Im here. The we would sing a little Twinkle Twinkle or Itsy Bitsy spider and that seemed to comfort him. he would get his trusty thumb and curl up on me and fall asleep. How could I ever be mad at that thumb? If I have to pay $15K for braces than so be it. It has seem him through good times and bad. And just think, thank GOD this is all over an ear infection. Sadly, there are mommies that have to take care of babies in hospitals and worse. For them my heart is heavy. VERY heavy. No matter how serious the hurt, mommies just NEED to try to take it away.
****night night precious bub. Mommy is here if you need kisses and the Itsy bitsy spider tonight.***
