Memorial Day Weekend

Before the holiday weekend, I had thought I would have been posting fun pictures from our cook out over Memorial Day Weekend. Lots of smiling kiddos and friends having fun. However, our weekend did not exactly go as planned. Poor Brett developed a fever just in time for the weekend. It started low and we assumed it was a teething fever. But by Saturday afternoon it was up to the 103’s. By Sunday afternoon it had reached the 104’s and we had called the pediatrician. He said to keep giving him Tylenol and Ibuprofen (not real easy to find in the store right now thanks to the recall!) and call if it got to 105 and we would talk about the ER. We decided since we weren’t sure what was causing the fever and we were worried about little Monkey, we had to cancel our cook out. Poor Jack was so disappointed. It ended up being the right decision though, because we headed to the ER with Brett Sunday night when his fever went from 104 to 105 in about 15 minutes. After all the waiting in the ER, we were sent home with no more information, just that it was a virus. His fever remained through the weekend and we took him in to the pediatrician Tuesday morning. He ordered blood work and labs, which all came back fine. Monkey’s fever finally went down Tuesday afternoon and he has been fine since. Chalk it up to one of those baby viruses! Poor little Monkey!!
