Aw, Loki! I'm sorry about your little one! Some times kids hide illness really well. You are NOT a bad mommy. Fevers get worse in the evening so how could you have known? You did the right thing taking him to the ER.You probably caught it early so maybe it won't get too bad. I will pray for him!
Hugs!

and I'm not cautious ENOUGH. I would still have him at home cuddling feeding him tylenol. With Zeke's insane ear infections, I learned all too quickly that anitibiotics don't always fix things so I don't run to the dr. right away. Be glad you did, Loki! *hugs* I'm so sorry about poor Darrell, though. I hope it clears up quickly! You are NOT a bad mommy! Just think how horrible you would have felt if you didn't take him to the ER! Good mommy!

Marla - that is true! LOL I guess that makes me even MORE thankful b/c I am D-O-N-E DONE having babies!

MM - how are you holding up?!

Hello & Happy Sunday to everyone else out there!

Loki I'm sorry your little man is sick. You are not a bad mom. How could you have known it was more than just a cold after one day??? Don't be so hard on yourself. You were smart to take him in to the ER immediately. I get really concerned about fevers over 102 as well. And MM is right, since you caught it early hopefully it wont be so hard on his little body and he will get better quickly. (((hugs)))

Hey there,
How are you all doing today? I'm doing okay. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night because I had some weird pains in my lower abs. It wasn't like cramps. It was a burning feeling, kind like some one was poking their finger in my right side really hard. It's hard to explain. I've pretty much had some kind of pain going on down there for weeks. lol It's not horrible pain, just annoying. I did wake up from a dream at one point and realized I wasn't in any pain at all! That was nice!
My son has turned me into a highway. He drives his little cars and trucks on me since I am pretty much immovable now. :laugh:
My husband went to church and is telling people we are pregnant and I'm on bed rest. I wasn't expecting us to tell people this way. I wanted to be there. :ohwell: One of our friends there is going to talk to the pastor's wife about organizing a group of women to bring meals out for us. She asked me if it was okay if she did that. Like I'm going to turn down free homemade food! lol This morning I made bacon and eggs which took all of ten minutes and I realized I needed to sit down (at least) again. I know some pain is normal but I'm not so sure what I am feeling is normal.
I am praying for the money to get the sonogram done ($100 which is super cheap I think!) so I can have some peace of mind.
Today I am working on getting online Christmas shopping done and I am going to attempt to put some of the tree together while laying down. Ha ha. That will be funny. I figure I can at least "branch" out the branches and DH can put them on the pole.
I've written a novel so I will go for now. Have a blessed day all!

Sara-- I'm the same way. I always "wait and see how they are in the morning." Usually they're fine, but we've had middle of the night ER runs for pneumonia years ago for my eldest and just this year for my 11 year old diabetic daughter. I thought she had a tummy bug and was treating her all day thus. Long story short, due to bad insulin, bad judgment on my part, and bad medical counsel by her endocrinologist, when we stopped "waiting to see" and took her into the ER at 3am-- her breathing was now very shallow and she was still puking everything that came her way-- they told us she was in advanced "diabetic ketoacidosis," and her condition was grave. Nice. :noway:

She was in pediatric intensive care for 2 days, but the Lord spared her-- but it was truly surreal.

Loki, good call-- better safe than sorry.
