Moments never to forget

School called me on Monday to come get you, you were running a fever. I warned them in the morning that you had a fever the evening before but it had subsided somewhat. When I got there everyone at school was concerned because you were not acting yourself. You were not dancing to the songs that you liked and were very sad towards your favorite teachers. They knew something was not right.

By the time I had come to pick you up, you were just about asleep on your cot, this was the first time I did not see you jump with joy to my arrival. Finally after waking you, you were so very tired and pitiful looking. You just snuggled your head on my shoulders and attempted to go back to sleep.

We finally arrived at the doctors office and got you checked in. Right Time Medical Care was good with getting us in as soon as possible since Maryland Primary Care was not taking phone calls till after we would have gotten there, did not want to risk not getting an appointment and having you wait longer than necessary.

All the while we waited through the nurses to look at you, you just laid your head on my shoulder and just snuggled up. I could feel your burning fever but I could also see the goose bumps on your arms. It is so sad to see you sick but its a rarity that you'll just snuggle up on my shoulder and take a nap.

We got you some meds and got you home to take another nap. Now I'm here watching you try to get comfortable in your crib on day two of strep throat. Sleep well peanut!
