Geddy's Fever

I had planned on putting more stuff on here earlier in the week but life has been a bit crazy since the weekend. Geddy has been fighting a virus of some kind since Saturday. The main symptom has been a high fever. It has been bouncing from 101 all the way up to 104.4. Took him to the Dr. one day and they said to just give him Motrin and Tylenol alternately until the fever was gone. Well, the next day is when his fever when over 104 so we took him to the ER. He was not really responding to me and his temperature was so high, I thought it best to get him looked at again. Of course, the Dr. there said the same thing our family Dr. had said the day before. Since then he has had some good hours where his temp. is almost normal and he can play a little bit and then his temp. will go back up and he will be fussy and just want Mom-mom to hold him. Right now he is actually sleeping in his crib. He has been there a couple of hours, so hopefully he is getting some restful, healing sleep. Now if I could just get some that would be great. Unfortunately, I have to catch up on the housework and e-bay shipments. The first picture and this next one were taken Tuesday afternoon when Geddy was feeling a little better.
Geddy hasn't had much of an appetite since Saturday. But he sure was happy when Dad brought him home some Popsicles Tuesday evening. Since then he has decided to eat some Mac and Cheese and some yogurt. Hopefully his throat will stop hurting so he can eat a little more normally. He has lost about a pound in the last five days.
Not much is going on for Scott and myself. Work keeps us busy, as does Geddy. Have a great week everybody.
