Oh how life throws a wrench in my plans. Tuesday morning at 2:30am my sweet bubba woke with a high fever. He was acting pretty normal all day (eating, drinking, sticking to his nap schedule) but the fever kept climbing so off to the doctor we went. All seemed ok. Just a virus to be treated with tylenol and ibuprofen.
Yesterday (Wednesday) was a whole other story. The bubbster woke up at 5am and was miserable. He would not let me put him down the entire day. I watched tv while he napped on my chest every 30 minutes and in between we read books, sang songs and tried to do quiet activities. He had no interest in toys, food or moving for that matter. Poor guy. He was so sick. By 6pm, his fever was 105.5 and I was on the phone with the emergency room. I was instructed to double the tylenol and wait an hour for the fever to go down. Luckily it did. By 8:45pm, both me and the babe were sound asleep. He woke up this morning with no fever but still wanting to be held and no interest in his toys. Hopefully as the day goes on, he'll regain his energy.
Michael is gone this week so the baby being sick has made it difficult to get anything else accomplished besides attending to his needs. I am not going to be hard on myself though. Life happens and sometimes focus needs to be shifted. I am doing well eating healthy so as soon as Mickey gives me an hour, I will get right back to my P90X. Today I'll be lucky if I get a shower. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
