This is how we started our day

Instead of church and brunch, we started our day at the doctor’s office.  After playing hard all morning, Jack spiked a pretty high fever just after lunch yesterday.  I called the doctor and he said to alternate Tylenol and Motrin every three hours and come in in the morning.  Well, the medicine worked great-I took his temp again around four, it was 97.4, and he was back to eating and playing hard.  We went in this morning and left with three prescriptions and a follow up appointment on Tuesday.Having a sick little one is such an uneasy feeling-I would take away any discomfort he’s feeling in a skinny minute if I could.  Thankfully, he doesn’t seem a bit bothered.  We think the medicine is actually making him even more silly!  We’re praying all checks out well come Tuesday morning!

Side note:  When I was putting Jack to bed tonight, he thanked God for Dr. Trey (our pediatrician) and Dr. Emery (the pediatrician on call) and said “thank you I didn’t push Dr. Emery (???) and I was a nice man when he looked in my ears.”  Yes buddy, I’m thankful you were a “nice man”, too!
