Curse

So in my last post I mentioned that Devin had not been sick very much at all this school year. I think I cursed myself (well, him really). My poor baby has coxsackie virus. He is miserable. He had a fever that went up to 103.5* last night. We had a very hard time to get it to come down. All the while he was mostly pleasant. Laying in our bed with us at 3 o'clock this morning Devin was chatting away. His fever finally went down to about 100* around 7 am. He spent the day relaxing with Daddy and watching movies such as Toy Story and Nemo. They both enjoyed this!

This afternoon I could tell his throat was bothering him. Well, that plus he was screaming his head off. I took him in to the doctor's. He has very swollen glands and a nasty raw sore throat with sores. After a Negative strep test the doctor determined this is what was ailing Devin. He has hardly eaten and anyone who knows Devin knows that this is HIGHLY unusual behavior. The sad thing is that there is not much to do for this virus. I was told to treat the symptoms. We are giving him motrin for the fever and pain and cool wet things to eat (he did have applesauce, yogurt, and a few bites of ice cream plus a decent amount of water).

I have a feeling it will be a long next few days.......
