After having fun at the birthday party yesterday, we drove home to take a nap.  Logan was in good mood; he read a book with daddy, then took his nap.  Two hours later he woke up and joined us to watch some TV.  As I was hugging him, I discovered that Logan was burning hot.  We were so surprised by this fever (102.2) as Logan had been 100% well the whole weekend.  He had a cup of milk, and finally agreed to take a pill of ibuprofen.  We kept Logan in low key activity the rest of the afternoon.  He went down to sleep as usual without any complaint.  But he woke up close to 11pm and cried for daddy.  Logan’s temperature was up again.  I had to look for some acetaminophen for him this time; Stuart had to convince him to take it.  Stuart gave him more water and put cold compresses on his forehead.  I decided to stay with Logan through the night to make sure he cooled down, so I took over once I got ready for bed.  Logan was looking very flushed, but he was happy that I slept with him.  During the night, he started to have a few coughs, and they were barky sounding too.  The fever finally came down, so we both slept comfortably for a few hours.  By 5am, Logan asked for water and I realized that he was warm again.  I tried to offer another dose of acetaminophen, but Logan declined until Stuart came over to talk him into it.  We were able to catch a little more sleep before we woke up at the usual morning hour. 

    Because of the fever, Logan had to stay home with daddy today, so I took Connor to school and went to work.  Logan had a mild cough and a slight runny nose today, but appeared fine otherwise; his temperature also came down during the day.  Logan had a good day with daddy; they watched some TV, played Mario Kart together, did some workbook, played in a fort, took a walk in the yard and went out for a quick grocery pickup.  I talked with Logan a couple of times over the phone; and he continued to tell me that he was sick.  Everyone ate well at dinner, and the separate bath went smoothly.  Logan did not feel warm at bedtime.  After reading, Logan asked for ice for his face, then he asked Stuart to tell “Tell mommy that I am not warm but hot”.  I think he was trying to get some TLC again, but fortunately he went to sleep without further complaints.
