Sick Saturday :0(

It's Sunday morning and mommy is home with a sick baby. Yesterday, poor Marc was hit with a fever and was just a sick little man... so sad. His first fever was 101.7. We gave him some fever reducer and it quickly came down and so we were encouraged. Then just under four hours later, it soared to 104. Mommy was not a happy camper and we went straight to the tub for a luke warm rinse/soak. After about thirty minutes it came down to 102.7. He was way over the bath by then so he then got to come down to the kitchen in a soft towel and eat a handful of grapes and have some water. His fever then settled down to 101.3. We were able to wait much closer to the 6 hour mark and gave him more fever reducer right before going to bed late and he was at a much better 99 when he went to bed! I set my alarm to check on him every few hours and he made it through the night without anymore fever and is fever free this morning! YEAH! Very scary... I did not like it!

Last week, daddy took some photos of Marc in his new fall outfit from the thrift store! (2 stores) His overalls and flannel shirt came from one store (as I hunted for a Halloween costume) and totaled $3.50 and then when daddy went to drop of some donations at another thrift store, he found these rockin shoes for $2! We love being thrifty! He looks like a little farmer!

So we are keeping an eye on him... like a hawk. He has a little runny nose and was stuffed up last night but I am vicious with saline drops and the snot sucker! So we emptied out some snot last night and he opened right up! We'll see what the rest of the day holds and we'll keep you posted.

Have a blessed Sunday!
Hugs and Love... Dawn
