Jack has a cold... and I worry because the last time he got a viral thing he quit eating/drinking and we ended up in the hospital for a couple of days. He's already refusing food and drink but I was able to get a little bit in him regularly yesterday. His doctor said to keep an eye on him, but so far his slight fever (100.5) went down to normal with one dosage of Tylenol and it does not sound like it's in his chest. Please keep your fingers crossed that this passes SOON. This morning Jack is not any better or worse -- he has a close to normal temp now but his congestion seems a little worse...my mom had a huge box of ice-pops in her freezer and was kind enough to bring them over to us yesterday. The first ice-pop didn't go over well. Last night he ate pieces of a grape ice-pop from a bowl...messy but got it in! He is quite cranky but hey, I am too when I am not feeling well! He was worrying me because he really isn't hungry or thirsty but every once in a while he'll take whatever I am offering. This morning it was room temperature white grape juice and diced apples -- and nothing else! But at least it's SOMETHING! I canceled his therapy yesterday and today and hoping he's well enough for tomorrow's session. I will keep you posted!
