Pretty much this whole month someone in our house has been sick but poor Ben seems to be the winner. We thought he was on the mend but when I put him to bed last night he felt warm again so I gave him some ibuprofen and put him to sleep. Then he woke up at 1AM burning up and crying. I took his temp over and over and over and every reading was in the 104's. 104.4, 104.7, 104.5. His heart was racing and he was breathing heavy and he was complaining of a tummy ache. We decided to give him Tylenol to see if that'd get his fever down. But by 2AM nothing had changed. Since I'm still not completely over this stupid flu Kevin took him to the ER (It was torture not to be the one to take him, I sat up with my phone in hand the entire time. Thankfully Kevin sent me lots of texts.) The doctor did chest x-rays suspecting pneumonia but those came back clear. They couldn't find anything wrong with him so they came back home at 5AM. Today his fever is reduced but still not normal. All the kid wants to do is watch movies and play video games. Poor kid, I really hope he feels better soon! This house is ready to be healthy and have some fun again!
