This morning when I got Ajax up he was very warm. So warm that I didn’t even need the thermometer to know he was running a fever. Dave and I had a short and pointless conversation- was he ok to go to the babysitters? We both knew the answer, but because we are both so insanely busy with work right now, we indulged nonetheless. We finally agreed that he needed to stay home, so I called into work. I’m glad that I was able to stay home with him, he definitely needed some babying and mommy time. Maybe I did too.
Around 1 pm I decided to take him into the Doctor’s office. He was congested with a deep cough and had a fever. I knew that he probably just had a bad cold, but I was worried about his ear. I’m paranoid about ear infections now. So off to the doc we went, where it was confirmed that he just had an old fashion cold with a slight fever of 99.7 and no signs of an ear infection. I’m glad I took him in, simply for the peace of mind. I would have been very worried about it all weekend.
We got home around 4 pm and the weather was just lovely, hovering around 60 degrees. We played outside a bit until Dave got home from work. And then my mom and dad came over for dinner. My dad is feeling better and Ajax was very excited to see his grandparents. I made us a great crockpot dinner (lentil and sausage soup), a recipe I’ll share later for sure.
