Frequent Flyers

I never in my life thought that I would be a frequent flyer to the ER but it is starting to feel that way.

Lucas had a fever since Thursday.  Fever for Lucas is very very normal.  He gets a little fever bug usually every other month if not more.  Yesterday his fever reached 105.2 and I called the doctor.  He said to take Lucas to the ER to make sure that he wasn't dehydrated.  Samuel, Lucas and I rushed to the ER where were were told that he had Strep throat.

This has been one of the first times that Lucas has been sick when he has the ability to verbalize it.  It is so strange to go from being a mom that has to try to figure out what hurts and then to start hearing what is wrong from your child's mouth is so weird.  He kept telling me that his back and mouth hurt.  On our way to the ER he said that it wasn't his turn to get a shot, it was Sam's turn.

My sad baby when the fever was highest.

Today we are on the mend.  He is so much more active.  I'm glad he is feeling better.

Thanks to Mamaw for being there for us yesterday!  It's so nice to have family around at times like these.
