kyburgDear Cliff.
Thank you for being a grown man when you got sick and allowed me to get some experience dealing with altered states when people get sick.
It's coming in very handy right now.
...
Got home last night to a truly at-the-wall Jim, and a velcro kid. Would not give him a moment's peace. Would not go down for a nap. Hypervigilant.
Got home, fed, bathed, booked and put to bed. Asleep nearly at once before 6:00 PM.
By 8, he was running a 104.7 temp. Back up, give meds and put down again - but could not go far.
Suffice it to say, not many of us got much sleep and I'll be going home at lunch to help with that and put both boys down for naps.
Watching temps all the while. I think kid was probably running hot all day, and Jim was too frustrated to figure it out.
That's to the bad. To the good? Kid has no problem announcing to me "I'm sick!" I'll take it.
