So I took Ben to the doctor yesterday, because he had a high fever. I guess it wasn’t the lemons that made him throw up the other day, he was actually sick. He’d been coughing that day, but we had laughed it off because it sounded like a fake cough, asking him, “What is it, son, the black lung?”

But a couple days ago his cough actually sounded pretty phlegm-y, and he started getting a fever. Yesterday he was pretty grouchy and at times inconsolable, so I took his temp and called the doc.

The doc checked him out and told me it was just a pretty bad cold. He ran a blood test to make sure that every was ok and said that it would take a couple days to get over.

Ben’s had a cold before, but not one including a fever and nausea. He’s handling it like a trooper, though sometimes he’s a little grouchy. He’s actually eating more than normal and he’s still pretty active, so I’m not too worried.

But just to spoil him a bit while he’s sick we had a little campout in his room so he didn’t have to sleep alone…

I hope you all are having a great holiday/Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus. I’ll be heading out to do some last minute shopping (but NOT at the mall!) and some preparing for tomorrow’s party. I do not have ONE present wrapped yet, but hopefully I’ll get them all done tonight!
