So I sat on the couch with him for awhile and he started to come around, drank a little water so that's good and ate some Cheerios. Overall when he fell asleep again on my chest at around 5:30 and I could feel that his fever was spiking again I started to battle with myself between my heart and my gut... I know that kids gets fevers all the time and that they are going to be tired and just overall sick but this seemed to come on do quickly and to be that lethargic isn't Iike him at all! So after consulting with Rodney who said I should do what my gut was telling me we loaded Truman up and took him to Childrens.
Okay yeah yeah i know...he's got a fever Kelli and not even for 24hrs but you know what I've got good insurance (thank you Microsoft) and a sick kid...it's mama's day and I can do whatever the hell I want! Childrens was great, they are so quick there and nice however I got the feeling from the Dr that Truman saw that she was not to impressed with me being there with the symptoms... Or non symptoms he had... Like I said, don't care! She looked him over, said everything looks good and that I should watch him closely for the next 72hrs because a fever with no symptoms for that period of time is concerning...GREAT! 1) like I'm just going to take him home and ignore him and 2) yep, that's all I've got to do over the next 72 hrs...sit around and watch Truman for symptoms...riiiight!
Got back home with one unhappy and hot little man, got him to eat and drink a little before putting him down for the night (a mama can hope right?). At this point I'm sweaty, my deodorant has failed and I'm in dire need of shower! Rodney went to the store to pick up dinner makings along with a new digital thermometer (thats right Truman no more rectal temps- you can thank your Daddy for that;)).
Looks like Trumans second week of daycare will have to wait and staying home with mama is on the calendar for tomorrow!
- you did the right thing mama
