I came home after work to a very sick baby. He had a fever and hadn’t left my grandmother’s lap all day, not even to play. She had called me earlier but I was unable to leave work early due to the boss’s boss coming in for an audit. When I got home, he immediately wanted me and I couldn’t put him down. I made a quick trip to walgreens for pedialite and more infant tylenol. At about 6, he passed out on me and slept until 8:30 when I finally moved him to the bed. Him sleeping with body to body contact just made his fever worse so when I moved him to the pillow he immediately cooled off. In the night, that was the only way he would fall back asleep was to rest his head on my chest, and then I would move him back to his spot so he didn’t get too hot. He woke up a few times but nothing too demanding. I have taken off work today so I can stay home with him. He did eat his cereal this morning which is a good sign considering he was so lethargic last night he didn’t want food so we gave him pedilite. He didn’t even want to get in the floor and play… just be held.
I sure do hate when my baby gets sicks! Especially the weekend of his first birthday!!
