Zane has a fever and only slept a few hours.  We are back up now.  This really sucks.   Normally we wouldn’t even consider taking him anyplace with a fever, nor would we give tylenol for it unless it got above 103 or so (the point we consider the ER).  However, we really want him to feel good enough just to make it a few hours this morning and then Zach will bring him back home to sleep.  I don’t want somebody else to have to deal with him because he is cranky from not feeling well, even if they do love him very much. 

It wasn’t like Zach or I were getting anything resembling comfortable sleep anyway.  Both of our brains were buzzing, and Zane tossing and turning and moaning was keeping both of us on high alert.

As I typed this Zane had a huge, horrid poop.  That has to help him feel better for right now.  Maybe it will be out of his system soon.  The doctor today said the big thing going around was of the 24-hour variety.  We can hope he will be better soon.   If we can’t get the fever down, we might be leaving early and stopping through the ER at the hospital I am delivering at to have them look at Zane.  I don’t really see that happening, but we are keeping it in mind.

I am going to have to talk to the doctor about whether or not we should let Zane be around her until he is doing better.  I am not very confident that her immune system can handle it very well, especially being early.  Ugh!  This could get really complicated.

 

edited to add:  Zach said he didn’t feel as warm, so maybe his fever is breaking.
