So This Is What Teething Is

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.
