Poor boy. 🙁 He came home last night after playing with his friends and said his head really hurt. I took one look at him and knew right away he’d caught the bug going around. It’s a 24 hour thing, 12 hours of fever and anywhere from 0-12 hours of ickyness.
I took his temperature around 5:30pm and it was 101.4! That would certainly give me a massive headache! Loaded him up with Motrin at that point.
Around 4:00 am he came upstairs (was sleeping on the couch) and said he was dizzy and his head really hurt again, so I loaded him up with Tylenol.
I felt his forehead/cheeks this morning around 8am, just before I left for the day, and he was cool (and asleep). So hopefully the fever will go away and he’ll be a-ok for the weekend. According to our neighbors, that’s all it is (both her boys had it last/this week)…. and she and her husband weren’t affected (so hopefully Ron and I won’t be). I’m sure, however, that E&A will get it soon. 🙁
So, today, he officially misses his first day of school. And he was doing so incredibly well this week! I’m thinking he earned his Bionicle!!
