December 23, 2012 - Hospital Day

Very early this morning (midnight) I took the Baby to the hospital again.  This time his fever had spiked to 104.6.  Feeling that the temperature was pretty high (and scary) we called Telehealth for advice.  Their advice was to take him to the hospital right away.   I arrived in emergency at about 12:40am and was discharged less than 2 hours later.   They were very fast and efficient.  I know that I just got lucky and there weren't any emergencies that night, but either way, the people were friendly and they were moving quickly.  Turned out the Baby has an ear infection and I was given a prescription for antibiotics.  

In the morning my Mom came over to watch the kids for a few minutes while I went to pick up the prescription.  I just couldn't bear packing up three kids into the  van and then hanging around the pharmacy while the prescription is filled.  The whole idea didn't sound like fun!

This afternoon, was family Christmas number one.  We went to the Husband's aunt and uncles place in Hamilton.  The Husband had to work in the morning so we arrived just in time for dinner.  The Baby was sick and so he was really clingy and didn't want to eat much or be held by anyone other than me and the Husband.  It is tiring!  Also the Husband's family love to hold him, so I am sure they were disappointed too!
