My mom and I took Peter to an evening clinic downtown last night. He has an ear infection. His fever was up to 102.8. I decided to take him in after him carrying a temp of 101+ for 4-5 days. He was so miserable last night he just let the nurse take the rectal temp, I thought for sure he would have fought it. He did not like it, however, when the doctor took wax out of his ear because he couldn't see anything unless he took it out.
To add to Peter's illness, I'm also very ill. I've been struggling with a cold and was miserable last night while at the clinic (it was a pediatric clinic only, otherwise I would have gotten checked out too!) Today, has been worse. I'm very thankful that Peter took his naps well today so that I could get some rest too. And many thanks to Seth for not complaining for having to take care of Peter from the moment he walked in the door. I was lying in bed with such a horrible headache between 5 and 5:30 that I let Peter play with the buttons on the TV just to keep him occupied. He then got into the trash, but he was happy. And he played with the computer mouse, I didn't do a thing. This is very unusual for me to be this sick (the migraine I had was upsetting my stomach terribly and even sent me running to the bathroom). But, I took a Maxalt for the migraine and it unexpectedly cleared my sinus congestion as well! PRAISE GOD FOR MEDICINE THAT WORKS FOR MORE THAN ONE THING!
I'm still feeling crappy but at least I can get up and eat something now.
