Sick Days...

The last week has been a hard one. Last Tuesday, Cade woke up running a fever of 102. I took him to the doctor (mine was on vacation so we had to see someone else). Basically we were told that it was just a viral infection, to rotate Tylenol and Motrin every 3-4 hours and it would be gone within a couple of days. His fever went up and down all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (sometimes getting over 103). By Friday, he seemed better, but Friday night the fever went back up. I knew something was not right, so I called the after hours line. Luckily, our pediatrician was on call, and told us that she wanted to see him first thing Saturday morning for a flu test (he's had the shot) and to run some blood work. So at 8:30 on Saturday, we were at her office. The flu test came back negative, and before she could even get to the blood work, she looked and saw a nasty infected ear (I am sure any mom can relate), which we knew was causing the fevers. So one antibiotic and decongestant later, we are feeling much better!!! I took this picture on Sunday morning after the first good night of sleep Cade had gotten all week. As you can tell, he slept really hard on that hair. He may not have a ton of hair, but what he has is fine and wavy, which can make for super fuzzy bedhead:

Seriously, this hair is crazy!

Just waking up- "No more pictures, Mommy!"
