Yesterday was a long day ...and night. After being poked five times, Drew was feeling bad. When we first got home he was OK. He ate and took a little nap, but about two hours later, he was running a fever and very fussy. Freaking out like I do, I called the doctor's exchange but it was all "normal" they said. The rest of the day and night he was fussy and warm, nothing made him happy. At the highest his fever was 102.3. This morning he's doing better, his temp is 99.9 and he's playful and happy. The one good thing about yesterday, I found out Drew likes grape. He couldn't get enough of the grape flavored infant Tylenol, it was like watching a little fish at feeding time.
I also learned yesterday that my son has a favorite side. He likes his right side, when he sleeps he turns to lay facing the right side only. This didn't seem to be a big deal to me, so he likes one side better, who cares, right? Turns out it is a big deal. The kid is making the right side of his head "flat" and he's not allowing the muscles on his left side to grow. If he continues to do this, the doctor said he'll have to wear a special helmet and although his dad would probably think that was good training for his future sports career, I'm sure he wouldn't enjoy it.
So the goal for the next few weeks is to make this kid love his left side just as much....it will be a lot harder then it sounds!
