Well, thanks to Aaron, I have a new power supply cord! THANKS AARON!!!
So, I'm back! But not really. We had a new Growth Chart Moment yesterday, and it's still with us today. Jack got his first high fever in the wee hours of Sunday morning, and it's been coming on and off since then. This morning it was down to 100, but he seemed more irritable today than yesterday. He has a clogged/runny nose to go along with it, so we'll see what happens, and then call the doctor if it doesn't go away soon.
Yes, he's one week away from being 11 months old, and this is his first high fever. Can you believe it? I guess it's the combination of breastfeeding and staying at home that has done the trick. This works well for me, since I have no clue what to do when he gets sick. I've used my free sample of Tylenol and offered him water or nursing as often as I can, which I think is all I can do, right? I'm trying to figure out if he needs to be snuggly warm or kept in cooler clothing when his fever spikes. Daddy's been a great help. Especially since he's recently had a few fevers himself and knows what helps him.
Because of Jack's fever, I'm not able to get online much to read my favorite blogs. That means I missed 7 days of blog reading, giveaways, and mom tips, and I will continue to miss even more! (I did get three books read this week though!)
I hope you had a great week, and a great one to come! Feel free to leave me a link or two of really great entries I shouldn't miss from last week.
Hope Jack is feeling better Amanda!
ReplyDeleteWe have had 2 ear infections (total!)and both were discovered when we brought them in for a goopy eye.
I think that's pretty amazing for a 6, 4, and 2 year old.
Of course, Lauren requires a lot of visits to doctors anyway!
It's a good thing she's so cute
