We haven't updated the blog in a while, we've been busy here with snot and puke and viruses and diarrhea and fevers and chills and no sleep!
Ammon got a cold, and an intestinal virus at the same time. The doctor ruled out the flu and no ear problems but said he was definitely sick with a mean cold and stomach bug!
He had a fever for 8 days without breaking!! It would be 103.8 then 3 hrs later 100.5 or something...which, I know fevers in kiddos this age will go higher than in us and even a temp of 103 is not reason for an ER visit, but for over a week solid? We contemplated ER visits & Urgent Care visits but we just kept treating the symptoms (which is what the doctor eventually said is all we could do)....
Motrin & Tylenol tag teamed every 3 hrs, which meant we were up every 3 hrs! Gosh... talk about tired!
And poor Ammon! He didn't laugh, he didn't play, he didn't even smile for the entire time. He just wanted to sleep and watch movies.... Cars, Toy Story, Nemo, Thomas the Train... over and over again (but mostly Cars).
He didn't eat, he drank a lot of water and gatorade and he's lost 2 lbs. But he's getting better now.
This is a pretty good pic actually... before it got bad. Notice Thomas the Train in the background?
