Sick In Bed

Peter has been a sicko over the weekend. Saturday night we were out at a festival and he just got really pale and started shaking. He wouldn't eat any of the food we offered and was feeling a little warm. By the time we got home and checked his temperature it was over 103 degrees! We loaded him up on ibuprofin and woke up with him several times during the night. He just was not a happy boy.


Next day we opted of course to stay home and spend lots of time in bed so he could get some rest and hopefully get better. He seemed to be feeling alright though. Instead of laying down in bed he just wanted to JUMP in it! Mommy laid down in bed to and tried to cuddle with him.


Our dog Gizmo, jumped up and wanted to cuddle too!


Instead he and Peter got into a battle over a giraffe toy.


Even our cat, George, hopped up to join the family in bed.


Peter did go under the covers for a little bit.


But only to try to hide from mom...I ended up finding him with the camera.


Peek-a-boo!


Yup, this is the picture of a sick kid...


Sadly, once again as night approached his temperature started to rise again. Around 10pm it hit 104 degrees! He could not sleep. Mom was up with a cold washcloth and giving him medicine and just rocking him. After a few hours of being unsuccessful at calming him down I finally decided to move to the living room to watch some tv. We took our pillows and blankets to the couches and put in Lion King. Somehow this atleast distracted him from crying and calmed him down. His fever even went down a little.


Mommy didn't get much sleep tonight, but thankfully daddy has today off and when he woke up I was able to go back to bed for a few hours while the boys fell asleep watching Cars. When I finally woke up we called the doctor and will be going in to see him in a few hours. I can't have another night of such high temperatures!
