fever #2

Cash is sick. I'm not sure what is going on but there is something bugging him. He's only really been sick one other time in his life! Sure, he's had sniffles and runny noses and the usual germy and teething stuff but none of that ever slowed him down. Yesterday, Sylvia called me as I was on my way to go pick the boys up and said that she wanted me to know Cash is sick and she had given him some medicine (don't worry, not any of the recalled stuff). I picked him up and didn't see anything too out of the ordinary but as soon as we got home he went down hill fast. He ate a little bit of dinner and played a very little bit but then he started to cry - the painful cry - and just wanted to snuggle. He said that his tummy hurt and he wanted me to rub it and also pointed to his head hurting. I got a little worried because Gabby had hit him on the head with a toy and made a pretty good egg so i thought that he might have a concussion but he didn't. Anyway, Cash started to get really, really hot and uncomfortable so we gave him some more meds. He wouldn't let me hold him belly to belly, he just wanted to lay with his back to me because he said it hurt his tummy. I prepared for vomit and poop but nothing. He asked to go up to bed and was asleep within 5 minutes (that was a good thing).
This morning he woke up and was even hotter than last night so more motrin down the hatch. Then he laid on the couch for a good hour and watched Elmo while daddy and Cooper got ready for the day. I had already showered and dressed but decided that i'd stay home with him. Well, i guess the motrin kicked in because he wanted to play with Mimi and Danny after a while. Then he asked for some sausage and got really upset when he realized that Cooper wasn't at home (he went on to Sylvia's). So we got dressed, grabbed a sausage bagel and took some lollipops to his friends at school.
I told Greg to call me if there was a problem and i haven't heard from him yet. i'll go get him early just in case but it might have just been a quick bug.
