Henry and Eleanor were both fever free yesterday and then around 4:30 AM today he woke up on fire. He had a 103.8 fever and the shakes. He wanted to lay in bed or on the couch all day. He had no energy and did not eat much. He said his body felt heavy and his eyes felt "wiggly" and his head hurt. We were trying to get him outside for some sun and fresh air (it was 76 degrees today) and at first he didn't want to (unheard of) and then we said he could sit in Eleanor's stroller and dad would push him. He got in with a blanket wrapped around him and was happy. I fear this is the flu but hope I am wrong.
Tonight when I was cuddling with him at bedtime he told me "When I am a grown up I'm going to buy you a sheet. A pink one that's your size." And when I showed that I was obviously moved by this statement (his lovie is a shredded up sheet he's had since he was a baby and he sleeps with it and needs it when he's sad, sick or injured) and then he said he was going to give me TWO sheets. I told him that would make me feel so happy. And it would.
Friday is Henry's school Christmas pageant. They've been rehearsing this whole week (their songs) and today they got their costumes. I'm so worried he will miss it. I've been looking forward to this pageant since last year.
