Mystery fever

On thursday Alekisio was fine. We went to costco after his nap and on the way out he asked for pizza. We grabbed some and headed home. When we got home I asked if he wanted to eat it and he said no he wanted to watch a movie. That was at 5:30, after about 45 min. it was just too quiet in there so I called to him and he answered so I left him alone. At 7 I checked on him and he was sleeping. I thought that was weird but inside I was thinking how great it was to only have to worry about Isabelle, she was really fussy. At 7:30 however I heard him vomitting. I ran to the bathroom and he felt super hot. I took his temp and it was 103.1 under the arm. My thermometer says to add a degree when you do it under the arm. Aisea arrived and jumped in the shower while I called and made him an appoinment in the after hours clinic. Alekisio threw up oin a pot the whole time. He was comatose the whole time. When the nurse wanted to weigh him he stood up shaking and had to hold on. When they took his temp it was already down to 102. What? They took blood and he got to pee in a cup, which he thought was too cool. When the results came back at 10:30 they said nothing was wrong. Alekisio's temp was almost normal by that time and he was holding down a couple bites of muffin. Isabelle however wouldn't stop crying and wouldn't nurse so I asked the doctor to look in her ears, and he said she had an infection. The clinic was closed so they had to figure out how to get a prescription through the computer (we have kaiser). In the meantime the cleaning guy threw out the doctor's metal ear cleaner. I felt horrible while they were trying to find it in the garbage. We ended up getting Mcdonalds and arrived home at 11:00. Isabelle would only sleep on me so I had a migraine from being tired for two days. Alekisio was jumping around when we got home so he's fine. He used to want to go to the doctor for everything, now since they poked his finger for blood he doesn't want to go.

That seems so weird. Maybe he had an allergic reaction to something?? Anyway, it was good to hear from you. How is your family. We would love to keep in touch with them. Does your mom have an email address?
