So my little quote at the end of my last post? Well, God must be laughing his pants off (if He even wears them) because LD didn't have any lunch other than a few crackers and fevered off and on all afternoon. He napped for 1/2 hr tops. I don't know who needed him to nap more, me or him! Then his fever spiked at 103.5 just before dinner and he cried and screamed for an hour. I called the Dr and he said we were UNDERmedicating him - huh? Turns out he's so big for his age he actually needs 3x the recommended dosage to be effective for his size. So I dosed him up on Motrin and within 20 minutes he was feeling better. Now, if I can only get him to drink his Pedialyte. He's going down for bed so we'll see how he does. He's due for some Tylenol around 9pm so hopefully he'll have a more peaceful night tonight. I just want him to get some good sleep so he can be my happy little guy again!
Argh...I just dosed myself again and can finally breathe so I think I'll crash out while I still can.
Until next time ...

If LD does not want his pedialyte I would recommend that you give him some gatorade. My kids alway's did better with gatorade because it wasn't nasty tasting like the other stuff. Pedialyte is salty and kids generally don't like that. Thanks for the Valentine's Day card....we all miss you! ~Heidi
