Poor Wyatt was sick this weekend. Friday afternoon he woke up really cranky from his nap, which isn't unusual so I didn't think much of it. Finally after an hour or so of him screaming about everything I realized he was burning up. He was miserable and screaming while I took his temperature. I gave him some Ibuprofen and he was a different kid thirty minutes later. He was happy and sat down and ate dinner. That night he was back up at 11 PM burning up again.
Saturday it was the same thing. He was fine until the medicine wore off. When I got him up from his nap he was drenched in sweat. That night his fever spiked again, but we couldn't get it down. His cheeks and eyes were so red. We finally tried a Slurpee and a cool bath. That finally broke the fever so we could get him down for bed.
I think he liked being sick. He got to eat a Slurpee while watching TV at 11 PM and sleep in mom and dad's room. Luckily, he is feeling much better. No one else got sick and we have no idea what it was. That seems to happen to the kids once or twice a year, they get a fever and no other symptoms for a few days.
