Rick sad because Matthew's sick!
Yesterday was the worst day we have had in a really long time! It started at midnight and progressed throughout the day from bad to worse! This is how it went: 12:00am Mathew throws up on our bed, so naturally I change his clothes. As I'm changing him I notice that he is hot to the touch so I ask Rick to find the thermometer. After striping him down to his diaper we take his temperature and it's 102. We give him some Motrin and take his temperature again an hour later, by then it's dropped to 100 and we attempt to go back to bed but Matthew develops a stuffy nose and wakes up screaming ever couple of hours because he can breath through his nose. Finally around 5am Matthew sleeps for a 4 1/2 hour stretch. 9:30am Matthew wakes screaming again and doesn't want to sleep any more. We get up I try to feed him but he refuses his food (completely not like him!) he screams continually and doesn't want to be put down, also not like him. So, I try to get him an appointment with his Dr. but there all full, after Rick explains that he really needs to be seen they let us come in. 2:30pm I take Matthew to the Dr. Rick had a Dr. appointment of his own so I take the screaming Matthew by my self. 3:30 pm we are finally called back and put in a room, Matthew finally falls asleep. 3:50 Dr. comes in to see Matthew, looks in his ears and say oh wow has he been cranky? YES!! He has an ear infection, they give me a prescription and send me on my way. 5:00 pm after dropping off Matthew's prescription I come home to find out that a transformer on our street blew up and our powers out. 7:30pm Power finally comes back on Matthews still screaming and still hasn't had a nap! We rush through dinner because someone has to hold Matthew at all times. 10:00 pm We check Matthews temperature and it has spiked to 104 so we decide to take him to the E.R. The E.R. is so busy there is no where to sit, Matthew continues to scream unless I walk him around 12:00 am we finally get to sit down. Matthew takes his second bottle of the day and falls asleep. 1:00 am we finally get called back they tell us he's fine and If his fever gets that high again to give him a max dose of Motrin and Tylenol at the same time. 2:00 am Home again, Matthew wakes up every couple of hours again. The good news is his fever finally broke and he hasn't had one since!
