I Blame Myself
Today was a beautiful day and the weather man is calling for rain turning to snow this weekend so I thought it would be nice to take the kids' bikes to the park... I shouldn't have done that! Logan is now running a fever. It hasn't spiked above 101 (the magic number that sends us to the hospital) but it's getting close. I didn't realize that a lot of activity can exacerbate neutropenia (low white blood cells) and bring on a fever. Right now he's eating lots of Popsicles and watching a cartoon marathon in hopes that we can reverse the damage done. In the mean time, Eric has packed his bag and is ready to go sleep on a hard, uncomfortable cot at a moment's notice. : (

Don't blame yourself, Diane! He may have gotten the fever even if he'd stayed inside all day! I hope the popsicles and movie marathon tame his fever, I know that'd do the trick for me! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that either and I am the nurse in the family. This is a learning experience for all of us. So today I learned something new also. Don't beat yourself up too bad, I think Logan needs to do normal stuff in his abnormal world. Love to all Mom
ReplyDeleteAww, don't be too hard on yourself. I can't imagine how hard it would be to find that balance between taking it easy and trying to entertain two kiddos!
