On the Mend

I think it is safe to that Jackson is finally feeling better! He has been knocked down by the flu and strep throat since Sunday night. Monday afternoon was definitely a little bit scary as his fever climbed all the way up to 105.1 before it started to go down very slowly. We did the tylenol/motrin combination for more than I like to, but we had to keep his fever under control. Nothing is worse than seeing your little one just lay there and cry because they don't feel well. I am so thankful his sickness was one he was able to heal from in a couple of days.

Brian and I rotated days at home with our sick little boy. He did Monday (since I had nothing ready at school) and Wednesday, and I did Tuesday and today. Since he still had a fever last night we couldn't send him to daycare today even though he woke up without a fever and was feeling better. We made the most of it and had a great mommy/son day at home! We spent the morning outside and at the park. What could be better than tractors at the park?!?

One way we really now Jackson doesn't feel well is when he does not eat like his normal self. So, last night I decided to treat him to some frozen yogurt because I knew he wouldn't turn that down. Freshberry did not let us down and actually I loved their flavor of the month; cookies-n-cream! I wish it was on their regular menu:)

It seems weird that tomorrow is Friday since I have only worked two days this week. Tomorrow is Go Texas Day so I better go dust off my pink cowboy hat and find my plaid shirt! Too bad I don't have any cowboy boots, I think that is what I want for my birthday this year!
