Well, it's been tried and tested and now I know I can still survive on very little sleep. This whole week has been no fun and it makes me nervous to have a newborn around again.
Tyce seemed fine on Mon and Tues but woke up in the middle of the night Tues night. He had a fever so I gave him Tylenol and he went back to bed. He was doing a lot better by morning so we went to the park and storytime. But his fever was back by naptime and I spent the next 4 days rocking him and trying to help him sleep. It was awful... even with ibuprofen/tylenol combo Tyce still had a non-stop fever around 102. He couldn't rest and was hot and irritable. I can't remember another time with any of the kids where I actually had to hold him all.night.long. Usually with fevers, they want to sleep extra. So it turns out besides having a virus, Tyce also has a really bad ear infection. I would have thought being on antibiotics and ear-numbing drops would have helped last night but I wasn't so lucky. The fever is gone but now it is turning into a full-blown cold and he was so stuffy he couldn't breath or sleep.
Oh the joys of parenting... let's hope things get better tonight or I might just not make it through the day.
Good thing he's cute.
