Poor little guy started with a fever at daycare on Wednesday afternoon and it was downhill from there. Justin stayed home with him on Thursday and took him to see the doctor. Just a run-of-the-mill virus, along with teething, and she recommended using infant ibuprofen. That sure seems to make a difference, but it's been a slow recovery.
He's still been battling a fever (highest was 103.2, taken underarm) and he has been a mess of snot and drool. I stayed home with him yesterday and it was a bit of a rough go. The worst part was that he couldn't breathe through his nose, so drinking a bottle was difficult and messy. Oh, and his night sleeping has been awful. That's been rough, last night especially. Thank goodness it was not a work night! Here are some post-ibuprofen pics from yesterday. He was so cheery, despite being sick. The last one is from when he should have been sleeping.
Today he's been a lot better, aside from the horrible sleeping last night (that was probably rougher on us than him!). We actually went out for dinner at J. Timothy's since he seemed to be feeling better. That went well, except for the fact that he's a busybody these days. Always moving and grabbing and trying to get into trouble :-) We had to take turns holding him and eating, but it was still a good time. We're so glad he's feeling better.
And, I'm probably going to regret saying this...but he's still sleeping right now and that is a big step in the right direction. Now maybe I can finish the post I started nearly a week ago :-)
