Sickness

Look at this face . . .
Poor baby didn't sleep well last night.
He had a high temperature and had labored breathing.
He woke up around 11:30 just crying and screaming.
Brett got up with him and tried to console him.
Didn't work. Brett came in and woke me up to say he was concerned and asked what to do.
We took his temperature; it read 99.1
We called our pediatric clinic's after hours number, no doctor on duty.
We searched the web for symptoms he had.
Finally we gave him some medicine (acetamenaphine) not the recalled cold and cough stuff.
He stayed in bed with us an cuddled with Brett. He tossed and turned and cried.
Brett took him to the doctor and found out Ziek has strep throat!
Problem solved . . . or sort of . . . medicine is ordered and he's at home resting now.
Poor little guy can't talk and tell us what hurts! He's such a trooper.
Pray for him to get well!!!
