Isn't that the cutest costume? Doesn't he make the cutest little Buzz? He had to put it on the minute it came and he has practically been wearing it since! He knows he has to be careful and take care of it as he will not get a replacement if something happens to this one. But I'm afraid that Buzz won't be getting out of his jammies today. Yesterday he spiked a fever. A high fever. And 4 hours after his initial dose of Motrin it climbed to 103! Yikes! We've been feeding him lots of fluids, and at one point he asked for some vanilla ice cream. He has a cough, runny nose and the general aches and pains that come along with ... flu? So of course I have to look up his symptoms and go on over to the CDC website. And everyone is in a panic and here I am and reading this scary stuff and don't know what to do. My gut tells me that this is not "it" and yet I would like to have him tested. On the other hand I would like to keep him isolated from the other germs in that pediatric sick child waiting area.
I'm not entirely sure what to do. I'll watch him closely over the next couple of hours and decide. I have a painter coming at 10:00 to give us an estimate and I would like to keep that appointment. I have an appointment to get highlights tomorrow I am going to have to cancel. A bit bummed about that a I have already let myself go too long. But I'm obviously not going anywhere these next couple of days so I guess it doesn't matter... I'll stay home and make some chicken soup... Would I stoop so low as to wear my pink polka dotted pajamas to school?
