Mom in overtime
I am in overtime. :) One of my children is sick. Really sick. My "worry shift" began at 5 a.m. and I am now in overtime. 16 hours of worrying.
I have two boys. The oldest is 11 and the youngest 7. Now, the youngest is always getting sick with a cold or running fevers for no apparent reason. However, the oldest... he doesn't get sick often. He does have other disorders I spend my worrying on, but he doesn't get sick often and when he does..it is minor and doesn't last more than a day. Of course.. he has been hit by a car, cut off the tip of his toe, and broke his arm and wrist. LOL... good stuff to worry over.
BUT, you know what. Of all the minor sick things that a Mom has to worry over... I think a continual high fever is the winner... hands down.. His fever has been 101.5 since 5 a.m. One Tylenol didn't touch it. Two Tylenol brought it down to 99.7 for a couple hours. He just peaked to 102.6 and that is just to much for me. So, he just took two more Tylenol and tried to explain in his overly creative and I swear hallucinating way, how his throat was fighting air and that we are all being attacked. RIGHT. What I got out of that was that the air he was breathing hurt going down his throat.
Well, I can't be to worried. He dragged his butt out here to ask for Ramen Noodle soup. He sang a little of the song he is learning for the talent show. He is going to tackle Walking in Mephis. He is doing Lonestars version.
So, for now... overtime is over. I will be sure to clock back in after Midnight. :)
