The Patient

Today was a rough start for Isaac. He awoke with a fever of 101 and refused any breakfast. He cried a lot from his tummy hurting. My Dad brought him Maalox and Mylanta and with a couple doses of those, he was able to take his meds. He has eaten chocolate pudding and chocolate covered pretzels. Everything else I've offered him has been met with a blanket over his head. Great. We are trying to get his fluids down him which isn't going so well. So I am now using the pretzels as a bribe to drink. Whatever works, right. The surgery center called and when Billy told them all his symptoms they said it was all normal and to keep giving him fluids. Easier said then done!

Tomorrow afternoon we leave for Waco for a Gala at our adoption agency. We would stay home with our invalid, except that we are the speakers at the event. I think he will be fine because most of the travel and night will be spent tucked comfortably in his car booster seat with a blanket and the DVD player. At the Gala, he will have grandparents to dote on him for the 2 hours we are there. Wish us luck and please pray for no fever tomorrow!
