Owen is sick

Owen started complaining that his head was hurting last night around 7:30. At 11:40 last night he woke up and said his head was really hurting. I took his temperature and it was 100.5. I gave him some tylenol and lay down with him. It didn't seem to help much - he was still too uncomfortable to sleep until probably 2 am. This morning he woke up and still looked crummy, and had a fever of about 100. I gave him some Motrin and that seemed to help a lot.

I was on hold with the advice nurse from 8:30 until 9:30. Awful! Their message said "We are experiencing a very heavy cold and flu season so you may experience some delays." Anyway, the nurse didn't seem to be concerned, said it was likely a virus and to give him a lot of fluids. We hung around and played Monopoly most of the morning. He's going to miss batting practice today, oh well.

Douglas really enjoyed Goal Getters yesterday. He seems to be really proud of himself for being such a big kid as to be able to be involved in a sport as well. He had loads of fun running around and kicking the ball with the other 3 and 4 year olds.
