A Virus

Hello, everyone, this is Morry. Rachel asked me to step in and write the blog.

So as Rachel mentioned last night, Evan had a fever before bed. Given that he was 3 days into a 10 day antibiotic, he shouldn't have had a fever. So the doctor wanted to see Evan first thing in the morning. Rachel took him in and he has a virus on top of his sinus infection. Rachel pointed out that Evan has basically been sick non-stop since the end of October. The doctor felt that was pretty normal for a 2-year-old who now goes to pre-school two days a week. She said that next winter should be better once he builds up some immunities. But in the meantime, the poor little guy has to suffer.

I had to work today, and I had to go in as I was interviewing two people. One person I interviewed first thing and the other person I interviewed at the end of the day so I had to be there the whole day.

Rachel said that Evan was acting very sick today. He laid down on the couch and watched TV, something he's never done before. He ended up falling asleep on the couch too - another first. In the afternoon, Lynn/Grandma took Evan upstairs, and he ended up falling asleep on her in the game room.

Meanwhile, Rachel and Noah met me for lunch. We were going to go to Dong Nai, a Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant but it was closed, so we ended up at Freebirds which is a burrito place. Noah had a good time there. He was very excited and squealed really loudly over the very loud music being blared. It was really nice to see Rachel and Noah for lunch. It was also the first time we were out to eat without Evan, but with Noah.

When I got home, I went into Evan's room to get him up from his nap. He was awake and acting somewhat normal. His eyes were glassy and he still felt warm, but his mood was normal. When he came downstairs, Lenny/Papa made him a smoothie which he was very excited about. I think it was a magic smoothie because instantly Evan was back to his normal silly self. Evan got a GeoTrax plane for Hanukkah/Hanukah/Chanukah and he was very excited to play with it. He also wanted to play with Noah's train gift. For dinner, Evan ate a ton of macaroni and cheese, as well as tomatoes and pickles. It was really good to see him eating so well. He had barely eaten in two days.

After dinner, we gave the boys baths. Evan still had a fever but it was much lower. Now both boys are sleeping. Hopefully it's a good night.

Until next time...
