last monday {just after jaxon’s birthday party}, i got a call from daycare at 230 because evan was running a 102 fever – yikes!! i immediately left work, made him a drs appt, picked him up, and headed to the doctor. i fully expected him to tell us that he wasn’t sure what was causing it and for him to send us home giving e some tylenol for his fever. after spending nearly an hour at the doctor {and giving e a breathing treatment}, we were then sent to clear lake regional for chest xrays to rule out pneumonia. apparently our little guy was more sick than we thought. the doctor was shocked because of what a good mood he was in – typical for him! turns out it wasn’t pneumonia, thank goodness, but it was rsv…no fun!! he seems to have weathered it well and is just a little congested still but hasn’t run fever since that day. it’s no fun having a sick little guy but because he was in such a good mood, brian and i started to wonder if it wasn’t all a ploy to get us to stay home with him for the rest of the week :)
while at home, evan tried water and apple juice and a sippy cup for the first time. it wasn’t too bad but we’ll try again once his nose clears up so that it’s easier for him…
a “fun” result of rsv was that all of that sleeping through the night the munchkin had been doing was thrown out the window. evan and i “slept” in the guest room together – really, most of the time, he was restless and i was awake…no fun! as a result, nanny came down on thursday night to help us out and let mummy and daddy get a good night’s sleep. thank you nanny!! our slumber party was fun :)
