Still Sick...

Poor baby! I thought Henry was getting better because he only had a low-grade fever on Monday and Tuesday. Wrong! I checked on him before going to bed last night, and he was burning hot. I took his temp, and it was back up to 103.5. To make matters worse, he now refuses to take any medicine. He will cry, run, hide, and spit out the medicine to avoid taking it. I took him to the doctor's yesterday, but the nurse just listened to his chest, looked in his ears and throat, and said that he's fine. "Fine" meaning no pneumonia, ear infection or strep throat. He has some kind of virus. He has a horrible cough, his nose is constantly running, and he keeps spiking fevers. He won't eat anything, and he will only drink a little at a time (except bath water - he wanted to chug that tonight). Sometimes he is burning up and whimpering, and other times he gets a burst of energy, and wants to play outside. I caught Henry in a brief moment of happiness yesterday. Reading with Daddy makes everything better!
