An Unusual Day

So yesterday we got up and were going about our morning routine as usual. Gabe was bouncing off the walls, begging to play outside, I was trying to get a little work done around the house before we went outside, you know, the usual. Well at 10:30AM Gabe fell asleep on the couch, very unusual, but whatever. I used the time to make lunch and get ready to go to the swimming pool. Gabe woke up at 11:30 screaming, very unusual. Wouldn't eat his lunch, not that unusual. Then peed on the bathroom floor while screaming, unusual. At this point I came to discover that Gabe had a temperature of 103F, very unusual! Uh, I guess that means were not going to the pool today. Gabe pretty much laid on my lap sleeping all day, very unusual for my kid who is usually so full of energy I can't get him to hold still for a minute. The poor guy just didn't feel good all day long. I have no idea what caused the fever, but I guess something's been going around because a bunch of our neighbor kids have had fevers this past week too. We finally got the fever to break around 7PM last night and Gabe started acting more like himself. He went to bed around 8:30PM and at 3:00AM was wide awake wanting to watch a Thomas DVD. We made him go back to bed, but he was up again at 5AM. So I took him downstairs got him some chocolate milk, some crackers, and started a DVD for him then I went back to bed. At 9AM he was out running around with the neighborhood kids! I'm so thankful he's healthy and feeling better!
