ER

We spent Mother's Day afternoon in the ER. Aidan had a fever of 104.4. His little feet and legs were fire red. He was poked and prodded and they came up with nothing. A dose of motrin brought the fever down to 102 and we were sent home. It's not the flu, it's not strep.

His pediatrician diagnosed him with a virus and sore throat yesterday, so we are at home together until he goes 24 hours without fever and can go back to his sitter. Staying home with him is great, even if I am using up my vacation days.

I should be packing up for the move while I'm sitting at home. But I'm playing with him while he's awake and napping when he's napping. It's been so long since I've napped!

Today his fever has stayed below 101. But, it's still too high for the sitter so it'll be another mommy & baby day tomorrow. The good news is that he acts like he feels okay. He has some fussy moments, but mostly he's pretty calm and happy. Crawling around and playing with anything he can find.

Mother's day weekend wasn't all bad news. Saturday we went out to eat and after the ER fiasco we had fajitas. And I got two new charms for my charm bracelet-- a heart that says "Mommy" and some baby shoes. I love it.
