Well, yesterday started off as any other day until Dom woke up from his nap. He was burning up! I took his temp and it was 103.4. He was very shaky and pretty out of it. @ 3:45 I checked his temp again and it climbed to 103.8. I gave him Tylenol and Motrin and made an appt. @ the Pedatrician's office. The medicine kicked in pretty quick and was acting completely normal by the time I took him to the Dr. They didn't run any tests and guessed it was probably a virus, which I thought in the first place, but I don't take chances with Dom. The Dr. said that high of a fever was concerning and to watch him close. She said he should have a fever for the next 3-4 days and possibly followed by a rash or cold-like symptoms. So last night was filled with me giving Dom his doseges of medicine and I am so tired to say the least. It seems that his fever broke about 4am or so. I gave him his last dose of Motrin @ 5am and he was fine. He woke up late and feels normal. So I will just have to keep a close watch that the fever doesn't come back.
I will keep him home from church on Sunday just to be safe.

I am glad that he is feeling better. Sad that you could not come to the Donation Station with me today but we will plan on doing that in September. I can't wait. Oh, and I went through all of Bug's old clothes and got more stuff for Dom. The stuff that is to small for him you can give to Jandre if you want. I was going to sell the stuff at the Just Between Friends sale in September but I just don't think I will be up to it then. I thought you would enjoy the items for Dom. See you next week. Have a good weekend.
