Aidan is sick

Hi Logan,

Your big brother has a low grade fever today. This morning when he woke up, and was fine, despite not sleeping enough and some coughing. He was still active in the morning and when he left the house. But then daddy called me at 9 a.m. after dropping him off at school, and said that his head felt a little warm, and he was sleepy in the car. The teacher measured his temperature, 99 degrees, and he pretty much stayed at that in the morning.

I decided to pick him up from school early so that he could rest better at home, and not running around at school. Teacher said he didn't eat much for lunch. When we got home, I gave him some Motrin and tried to get him to nap. However, he just wouldn't sleep. I tried for 1.5 hrs and he was still very much awake. I gave up. I gave him some snacks since he didn't eat much, and he ate a popsicle, leftover pasta from dinner last night and a small piece of granola bar. Wow, he's hungry! Maybe that's why he didn't nap. However, your brother hardly complains about being hungry.

The rest of the afternoon, we just watched more Wiggles and videos from our trip. Mommy just couldn't get any work done from home, aside from a few emails. I had to take the day off tomorrow to take care of him, as he couldn't go back to school yet. The school policy is that he would have to be cleared of his fever for 24 hrs before going back to school.

I gave him another dose of Motrin before he went to bed at 8:30 p.m. He didn't feel too warm, but just in case. Hopefully, his fever is gone.


Love,
Mommy
