Logan woke up in very good mood, but unfortunately, he had to stay home today as he had fever yesterday.  After dropping off Connor, I came home to spend time with Logan.  We did some worksheets, mazes, and some cutting and gluing.  Logan was doing well, so we decided to go shopping at Target too.  Besides shopping for essentials, Logan and I were looking for a bigger backpack for the upcoming trip.  Logan did not like the kid backpacks as he claimed that they were too big.  But he fell in love with a kid rolling luggage.  He followed me while pulling the luggage the remaining trip at Target; he only parted from it briefly when the cashier scanned the product.  Logan kept telling me that we had to be gentle with the luggage to prevent it from breaking.

    After lunch, Logan went down for a nap.  Unfortunately he woke up with a fever again.  He was sad and needy again, and wanted only daddy.  After some convincing, he finally took the medicine, and another 30 minutes later, he was finally ok to hang with me instead of daddy.  We played for awhile, then it was time for Scottie’s doctor visit.

    I thought it would be interesting for Logan, so I took him along to the visit.  Scottie always cries during the drive, so Logan said “Scottie needs his mommy and where is his mommy?”.  While the doctor took Scottie in for a vaccine and a blood draw, I was explaining to Logan that Scottie is older now and we need to take him to the doctor regularly for check up.  Then Logan said “we should get a new one”.  One minute he was so sensitive, then the next, not so much.

   Updates about poor Scottie, he has lost another 5oz the past year, now down to only 8lb 13oz.  The doctor was worried that his kidney function might be worse now, so suggested doing another blood test panel.  She also felt that Scottie was dehydrated and recommended routine IV replacement.  The nurse came in to show me how to give him a 150cc IV fluid; Scottie tolerated it very well.  The doctor will call me tomorrow with the lab result and with the recommendation for the frequency of IV fluid.  Will keep finger crossed for good result tomorrow.
