Not Feeling Too Great

Saturday afternoon, when I woke up from my nap, I wasn't feeling very well. And all I wanted to do was curl up in Mommy's lap. So, I did. And she thought I felt warm, so we used our new temporal vein thermometer to see if I had a fever. 102.5•F. Yikes! (On a side note, it's a really cool way to take my temperature.)

Mommy gave me a bath, and we curled up on the couch together. Then I told Mommy my throat was hurting and I needed some of Paw-Paw Mike's rice and gravy. We had eaten some at their house the night before, so Mommy called them. Yes, there was a little bit left over! Paw-Paw Mike and Grangie rushed right over with it, and I ate an entire bowl of it! Mommy gave me Motrin, and I got to sleep with her in their big bed. (Daddy Jer slept on the couch to give me room with Mommy. Thanks, Daddy Jer!)

We just hung out Sunday, and I was still running a fever. So Monday afternoon Mommy came home early and took me to the doctor. Dr. Fletcher said it's a sinus infection. My throat is red and irritated because of it dripping down my throat. She said I was a very good patient and gave me some suckers!

So I'm taking an antibiotic now. And Grangie made a deal with me. If I take all my medicine really good every night for ten days and I don't spit it up, I get a Henry car for my train set! I'm going to get Henry! I'm trying very hard, and taking medicine is not easy for me. But I am enjoying the popsicles! Mommy was right: they do make my throat feel better!




So far, Madeline hasn't gotten sick. Everyone is trying to keep me away from her (but it isn't working!). She is still a happy baby!
