Sick Babies
One thing that all mothers discover is that your child can go from zinging off the walls to flat-out sick in 0.5 seconds. My daughter came home from preschool yesterday with a 102 fever. Today she was home with me, and she went through ups and downs. The scary one was around noon when her fever shot up to 105. Those scare me, and yet kids can spike a temperature so quickly.
I managed to get her into the pediatrician, but it turns out it was only a virus. Can’t do anything except wait it out, so she’s camped out in front of the tv with movies and Gatorade.
The baby is screaming upstairs. He won’t drink a bottle, won’t take a nap, and is being a beast in general. I suppose he’s probably coming down with the same bug.
Can I have my mommy now?
