Fever!

The past three weeks the children have been sick with "moco" and a nasty cough. We have went to the pediatrician twice, and called several times in-between. The ped was overwhelmed with an influx of other sickly children as we had to wait for another appt. this past Thursday. However, during this time, Diego would get a fever every few days. We treated it by alternating Motrin and Tylenol, but he didn't seem to kick it! I knew he just needed an antibiotic...the doctor confirmed Thurs. that they all had throat infections and should be treated with an antibiotic.

Moments like these...I don't want to forget. Diego had a fever. It was like 102.8; and I'm thinking how are we gonna get this down? The Motrin seemed only to give him minimal relief...so, I put cool bath cloths on his back, on his chest, on the top of his head, and even under his chin! I was a little nervous for the poor little guy...so, I slept in his bed with him...but before I fell asleep, I prayed over him...it was so precious. He squeezed my fingers and wouldn't let them go...that's the kind of moments, I want to remember!

I don't like fevers...
