Saturday

Feeling much better - thank God, too much to do.
It's Dylan who isn't feeling well.
He was sick Tuesday with a fever
and swollen glands. He had giant marbles
on the side of his neck, so weird.
Took him to the MD, no strep.
By Wednesday night he feels better, no fever.
Thursdy he wakes up crying because his
sides, under his arms, really hurt.
No fever.
I give him Tylenol and off we go to school.
Under arms hurt all day and he's very tired.
Falls asleep in the car which is
SO NOT LIKE DYLAN!
He hasn't taken a nap since he was 2!
Stop at mom's house, she's a nurse.
She thinks he as a virus, keep him home.
Friday, he wakes up crying again, sides
really hurt, but he wants to go to school for
a presentation they're putting on.
Ok, tylenol and off we go.
Right after presentation he's at the nurse.
Off we go to the doctor.
Again, he falls asleep in the car.
I'm thinking maybe it's mono.
Doc says it's a virus.
What virus - who knows?
Motrin every 6 hours.
If it still hurts in a few days,
go back to the Doc.
It still hurt this morning, but not enough
to keep him home from a birthday party at
Yankee Stadium.
Hope he doesn't fall asleep there!

Poor kid. He's such a trooper. And a party at Yankee Stadium? That sounds like a killer day. (Hope you don't have to drive him there though - I avoid the Cross Bronx at all costs, even if it means going up to the Tappan Zee Bridge to cross the Hudson.)

Kerry...we just went thru this. My 2nd boy has had a virus. They thought it might be mono w/ the sore throat, swollen lymph nodes behind ears, etc. So, we were to watch them.... He's better now. Although, not 100%.

Hope D feels better soon!
