What a week

Thank goodness the weekend is almost here. Man, what a week it has been.

Monday started with a bang. I go to drop off Andre' at the sitters like every other day. I get there and she tells me that her husband has been having pains in his side all weekend, and that he may need to go to the hospital because they think it's either his gall bladder or appendix. GREAT. Just what a full time working mom wants to hear, that her sitter can't sit. So I leave him there and hope that she doesn't call me. Low and behold less than an hour later I get the dreaded call. They admitted him to the hospital to run tests, and she's going to meet him. So here I am, at work, scrambling to find a place for my son to go for the day, and maybe a few more, depending on the situation. First person I call, no luck, no answer, andI don't have time to wait for her to call me back. Second person came through. She has been a lifesaver on more than one occasion, and it's always so last minute, but if she can help she doesn't seem to mind at all. Thanks Crystal.

So that afternoon I get a call from the sitter who is back at home. Seems that all tests came back negative and the doctor said it must just be a pulled muscle. At least it wasn't anything serious, but all this trouble for a pulled muscule.

So Tuesday everything seems back to normal, or so I thought. About 4:45 in the afternoon the sitter calls me to say that Andre has a fever of 103.7. Now that's no little fever that you can attribute to teething, something must be really wrong. I didn't freak out, because I was going to pick him up in 30 minutes any way and he was playing just fine, just HOT. After we got home, and the Motrin started to take affect, the fever was going down, but not breaking. Like I said though, there were no other symptoms, so I wasn't too concerned. Woke up on Wednesday, temp was 100.7, so I gave him a dose of Mortin and we headed to the sitter's. I called her mid day and he was doing fine, but then she called after he woke up from his nap and it was back up to 102.8. I called the doctor and what do you know he was out of the office for the afternoon. Just peachy. The nurse suggests bringing him to the ER, so that's what we did. Can't hurt to get it checked out right?

Thankfully it was the middle of the day, and there was no one there, so we were in and out in an hour. With a diagnosis of "viral syndrome", sounds kind of scary. Fever jumped back up to 103.1 last night, but after a good night sleep, everything seemed normal this morning, and I haven't gotten a call yet.

Not to mention the fact that Acadiana Moms is "under construction" and I'm having withdrawls.

Let's pray that Friday is pretty uneventful.

No new pics today, but the weekend is right around the corner.

Till next time~
