Had to take Hunter to the docs this morning as he had a terrible night. Barely slept at all and he was so hot it was ridiculous. I couldn't bring his fever down at all and I was getting so worried about him. You hear too much about young kids and meningitis and all this other stuff they can get. I had him in the bed with me and although he tried hard, he must've been too hot/sick/miserable to sleep. He was pretty good in there with me, no crying or anything, but he was very restless and unhappy. Needless to say, we didn't get much sleep! I rang the local medical centre at 8:30 and they were awesome - got me an apt at 9:30am that day and I took him right up. The doc was pretty convinced it was just a viral infection that his body would fight off naturally and even as he took his temp it was evident it started to drop. His temp broke that day over lunch just like that - one minute he was feverish and the next he was a completely normal temp. We went to the surf club for lunch as this was what would've been Grandma Jenkins' 100th birthday. Nice lunch, few people were there despite the absolutely appalling weather. It was terrible - gale force winds, pelting rain!
You can tell how much he improved by the pics - 1st one is in the morning, before the doctors, the second one is in the evening, when he was much better.
