Last night we woke up

Last night we woke up and Caleb was burning up. All day yesterday I thought he might be fevered but w/ the heat outside it was hard to tell. I tried to take his temp. yesterday and he wouldnt sit still and walked off w/ the thermometer and we havent been able to find it since. So all night we knew he had to have a high temp cause he was naked and it was cool in our room, and he was still burning up. Even after tylenol and frequent baths he was still hot. So today we took him to the dr. She took his temp and it was 103.8! I was so upset. She said it was probably at least that high before! But that is his only symptom. She said that hand foot and mouth diseaseis going around and that some kids just kid the high fever and never the rash. So he might still get the rash. Needless to say our 4th of July plans are shot as she said he should stay away from other kids for now. She gave him motrin and tylenol and that took his temp down pretty quick, thank goodness!

In other news my 2 interviews went well. I actually have a 2nd interview on Monday with the one I like the best, but the pay isnt as good nor are the benefits as that of the other one which I should know about on Monday. So either way Monday is the day when we’ll know more. Dean is also having a phone interview on Monday about the job he wants. Now we just need daycare…..

It’s been great having Dean home. Today he stayed w/ Caleb while I went to my interview and he went w/ us to the dr and Walmart. I could get used to doing this everyday, minus the dr and the high fever for Caleb!!!

we dont have plans now for the holiday or the weekend. We were going to go stay at my brothers on the shore tonight but I dont want to get my nephew sick let alone drive for 1 hr and 1/2 in a car w/out a/c with a baby with a fever. So we have 4 days til we know anything about jobs and Monday night I meet w/ someone about daycare. So we are just going to enjoy the days and do our best not to worry about things. hope everyone has a great holiday!!
