So little b-man is sick. Fever started Tuesday after his pm nap and spikes whenever the tylenol or motrin wears off. He is nursing lots and drinking juice, so that is good. Not so interested in eating, which is not surprising. We took him to the dr this morning since it had been over 36 hours with a fever (it is hovering between 100-102). He was not overly concerned since he is taking in liquids and has wet diapers. He checked his ears, throat, and looked him over - just thinks it is a virus, but asked us to keep watching him (obviously). He mentioned he could break out in a rash when the fever breaks or it could end up being an ear infection, but as of this morning, it was just a fever with no other symptoms. We are glad about that, though it is hard to see the little guy not feeling well. He wants us to hold him and he just kinda hangs out - yesterday he played a lot - today not so much.
His big birthday bash is Sunday, so good we'll hope all is well sooner rather than later!

Oh no! No sickies! I usually try not to give Amari a lot of fever reducers during the day, so he'll rest instead of feel good. Plus it actually helps the body fight the infection. Glad he's still nursing. :)
Good point - never quite thought about it like that!
Yeah. I'm not saying let a child be absolutely miserable, but some feber is good.
