Logan update

After a crazy evening last night, I did not find much time to update everyone on Logan's status. He woke up Monday night around 2:30 complaining of an earache. I had him sleep on a heating pad, but he was fidgeting for about two hours. Which means neither of us got back to sleep until 4:30. When he woke up, he said he was feeling better, so off he went to school. I should have known that was a bad idea, but I figured he would have called if it was bad again. Nope. When I picked him up from school, he looked horrible. His ear was hurting again and his head was too, plus he felt very warm.

We came home for about five minutes and then decided to head to the doctor's office. Sure enough he had a fever and an ear infection. Still in tears because of the pain, we headed to Rite Aid to fill his prescription and get some Tylenol. Five seconds after getting a Tylenol into his mouth, he decides to throw up. I did manage to get a back to him in time, but wouldn't you know it? It had a hole in it and still soaked his pants. What luck? We had just a few minutes to get Brandon to swim lessons, (needless to say Logan was not swimming). We made it in time and it was just warm enough for Logan to fall asleep. Talk about not feeling well, especially if you can fall asleep in a pool area with all that noise.

When we got home we tried some crackers to get some Tylenol into him and once again no such luck. At this point, our only hope was that he could sleep it off. He did fall asleep on the couch while we played on the wii. The poor boy never even asked for a turn. Knowing he just needed a day of rest, we kept him home from school and he enjoyed the quiet morning all to himself. I think enjoyed it a bit too much especially since he didn't have to share the TV with anyone. By midday, he had a full appetite and has been mostly back to normal since then. He will hopefully be heading back to school tomorrow.
