 Home Sick
Ugh, what a way to start the morning!

We woke up the little guy at 6 this morning and he was really warm.  He hadn't slept well, very restless.  His fever was 103.7 this morning.  I'm thinking it's an ear infection.  I called the dr, left a message, and gave him a dose of Tylenol. 

He's still warm but I don't think he's in as much pain because he did settle down.  I've been scrambling all morning, trying to figure out the best way to work things. 

My work is laying off people in the factory and I keep thinking it's only a matter of time before they pick on the office.  I have seniority and I can do everything in the office so I don't think I'd be the one to go, even though I make more than the other girl.

I spoke with my boss privately this morning on his cell and we've come up with a way where I can work from home and still document it with more than just my word, even though he does trust me.  (it's the owner I'm concerned about with showing proof)

Bottom line is still my family comes first.  My little boy isn't feeling well, crap on work, but with the way things are, I really need to keep my job.

So, I will update later as to how my little man is doing.  He's asleep on the couch right now.  Dr. opens at 9 and I can usually get in to be seen right away.

I hope that he starts to feel better! And I agree about family coes first but at least they are willing to work with you on being home.
That is great.

Here's my update:

It's not his ears. He's got strep throat. I dropped off the Rx and have to pick it up in an hour. He dropped off to sleep, poor thing. My bro-in-law is done work at 11:30 so he's going to sit with him while I go pick up his meds. The dr says he should be good to go to the shore this weekend anyway. The antibiotic is pretty strong and should knock it out quickly. He obviously won't be in the pool at all. (this place has an indoor pool)

So now I'm going to try to do some work, at least for an hour or two.

Medicines are wonderful. I am glad your little man will be well on the way to recovery very quickly. That's the thing about men of any age who are sick, we don't like it and we like to be cared for.

Might I impose on you next time I have to deal with needles?

Thanks everyone.

Good news - he's not dehydrated even though he wasn't drinking much. He actually just ate soup for dinner - he asked for it specifically. Now he's drinking. He's had his dose of meds, plus some Motrin and he's acting a little more like himself.

But I won't be in work tomorrow. I'll have to keep him home another day. I just hope he's better for the weekend. We're supposed to go away. The shore isn't that far, only about 2 hours.
