Yet another entry from two months ago. Connor and Carson came in from Arizona and I don't think you could find anyone more excited than Hayden. He had been waiting patiently for weeks and then his beloved cousins arrive and we have a play date for the zoo planned and out of no where a fever comes. 102 fever. So disappointed was an understatement, tears streaming down his face. "I not feel sick mommy. I not sick" he repeatedly told me. Off to the doctor we went, viral is the diagnosis of course, being a PA I easily diagnose this in others children but the worst plows through my mind when one of my own is sick. Three days later when he is still running 102 fever I am doubting a viral illness. Presumed pneumonia and a dose of zithromax and viola fever is gone and he's back to himself. We finally get to make it to the zoo and really Hayden couldn't have cared less what we were doing as long as Connor and Carson were there then he was in heaven. First to splash park, then to see the animals concluding with lunch at McDonald's and playtime at play land. Turns out a feverish illness with a day long of activity was a recipe for an overtired child that bit a little girl on the leg that led to a timeout and a trip home that my ears still haven't recovered from. Hopefully next time we will be able to spend more time with his cousins and illnesses will stay away.
