Little Man woke up this morning feeling unlike himself. First, he woke up but never got out of bed. He usually gets out of bed but today he just whined a bit and sat up a little. While I fixed him breakfast he sat on the couch watching Yo Gabba Gabba and never moved. Again, something totally out of character. Normally he'd run to the baby gate in front of the kitchen and stand there watching. After breakfast I gave him a bath and the boy just sat there. No standing up and walking back and forth across the tub. Something was NOT right and while I was drying him off he fell asleep. I took his temp and it was 102.6. This is the first time my baby's had a fever EVER. We've gone through hard things like a stay in the NICU, a spinal tap, a surgery but seriously seeing your child not like themselves is heartbreaking and never gets easy.
So I called the doctor and was told to give him Tylenol and switch to Motrin if that didn't help.Also feed him light meals like cereal and crackers along with pedialyte. Then see how he felt in the morning. He didn't even act this out of it when we both had a stomach bug around Christmas. He just wants to lay in my lap and tonight at bedtime he didn't even put up a fight. He laid down and went right to sleep. I'm hoping he feels better tomorrow. Time for me to hurry up and finish laundry so I can cuddle with him again.
