Temperature rising


You know what's really hard about being a mom? Feeling helpless when it comes to a sick baby. I want to do everything in my power to make you feel better, but when I can't it makes me frustrated. You started getting a fever on Tuesday night around 11pm. I had to give you baby Tylenol because your temperature was around 38° Celsius. This was the first time you had a fever so I was a little nervous. I knew something was up because the whole day you were lethargic and very sleepy. I decided to take you to the walk-in clinic yesterday because I was worried you had an ear infection. It turns out you didn't have that, so the doctor just told me to keep a close eye on you and make sure you were getting lots of fluid and sleep. He told me to come back on Friday if your fever was still there.

You wouldn't tell from this picture that you are sick, but you are very sick. Your nose is runny
and your fever keeps coming back after the 5 hour mark. I'm so worried…

Isn't this such a cute picture?

Your brother was so interested in listening to music on daddy's phone that he wouldn't pose
for the camera. I had to keep calling out his name to get him to look up.
