I took Mr. Sweetness (as he's commonly referred to when he's sick) to the pediatrician today after his fever spiked. For some reason the last few times he has had a fever it's been on a Friday. I swear the health insurance gods have it out for me. Any other day during the week and I'd wait it out another day but on Friday, I'm taking him in. I of course was told that it was viral, due to teething most likely but at least we ruled out the dreaded ear infection. I have to hand it to my pediatrician's office...we were in and out in 45 minutes. Those kinds of miracles just don't happen to me. When I walked outside it was dark and I witnessed a huge bolt of lightening in the distance but it was not raining. Again, a miracle. I was kind of expecting to get zapped with an enormous amount of electricity at some point since two things happened in my favor but fortunately I'm here typing away.
I had given him some Tylenol earlier so I started Motrin around 10 tonight. I'm hoping it will last the 6 hours that it claims to...we shall see. Last night was pretty tough so I'm hoping he gets some adequate sleep. Okay. So am I.
