Fever, Thunderstorm, and more!

Yesterday was an eventful day! Kyle played outside and when he came in, he felt hot to the touch and we thought it was because of the weather. I tried feeding him dinner, which he did not eat. Little did we know, he was coming down with a fever. Shannon took him back outside later in the afternoon and had Kyle run through the sprinkler! Kyle had so much fun. He loves being in water or being sprinkled with the hose.

After playing in the water, we brought him back inside. He was sitting in the living room coughing, and it sounded like he was doing his normal "fake coughing." He tends to "fake cough" just to be silly or just get our attention. Kyle ended up falling asleep around 6:15 PM.

Then it starts raining and loud thunder starts roaring above. The thunder was so loud, it made the house shake a bit. We power went out a few times and even our cable. Kyle woke up around 7:45 PM and he felt hot to the touch. We gave him some children's tylenol and tried the cold compress. He ends up throwing up a bit. Shannon sat in a luke warm bath with him to help cool him off. I had to wash the sheets, so while that was going on, we hung out downstairs.

My FIL has been sick for the last 5 days. He's feeling better today.

I am hoping Kyle's fever is only a "12 hour" fever. He was feeling hot to the touch this morning at 4 AM. Shannon gave him another dose of children's tylenol, as I was more than half asleep. I even remember myself saying, "Wait the medicine to work," which translates to "wait for the medicine to work." LOL
