Mom made it back OK. Unfortunately she made it back to a sick child. Charles had to come home early from daycare on Wednesday due to high fever. Oddly his temperature varies a lot, oscillating randomly between 101° and 103°. He also has a very sore throat so we’re a bit worried about dehydration. Normally Charles will knock back 8-16 ounces of milk before he has breakfast but he’s barely doing that all day now. He frequently demands new milk or water but he doesn’t drink much of it.
On the other hand, he has periods of activity when it’s hard to tell he’s actually ill. He giggles and laughs and runs around. He seems to be feeling better this morning and doesn’t seem to be running a fever, although he’s still a bit grumpy. Corwin was feeling off for a couple of days early in the week so Charles probably just has a stronger version of what Corwin did. Hopefully Charles will recover to day (Mom called the hospital and they said to just give him ibuprofen as long as his fever didn’t get any worse).
