March 5-9 2007

The week started off fairly typical. Everyone went to the respective daycares and work places on Monday. We had a nice dinner on Monday night. James slept through the night. The next day we went, again, off to our respective places. We got the call from daycare at 3:00pm that James was sick. I happened to be at Duke for an interview, so Nick had to interrupt and get the car keys from me to go and get James. James had a fever of 104. We gave him some Tylenol and Motrin, according to the doctor's instructions. James didn't have a good night. On Wednesday, James still had a fever, and this time it wasn't going down with medicine, so I took him to Urgent Care. He was checked for an ear infection, again, and he had a slight ear infection and a sinus infection. The doctor said that James had the 48 hour bug and should start to feel better on Thursday afternoon or so. I went to the pharmacy to pick up James' prescription. On Thursday, Nick and I split the day taking care of James. His fever is down to 99 without medicine, and he slept well last night. He still does NOT want to be put down or walk on his own, but he was playing with toys this morning. Now, I am sick. Nick was sick last week. I seem to get over these things before Nick does, so hopefully I will be better tomorrow morning. James is still a mister cranky-pants, but he is eating better now and he is sleeping well. All of our weekend plans are on hold until we see how James feels.
