What started as congestion and cold symptoms turned into full-blown crud by Sunday night. Preston woke me up shortly after midnight and was on fire. He had a fever of 102.1 and was just miserable. I gave him Motrin and tried to get him back to sleep, but it was a challenge. Being that the flu is going around like crazy at school I took him first thing Monday morning to the doctor. He still had a high fever, but thankfully it responded quickly to Motrin. She opted not to test for flu as even it was confirmed they would treat it the same, with liquids and Motrin and rest. So we went home and settled in for a day of rest. The poor guy felt so bad that he barely moved from the sofa all day. His nose running and sore throat were the worst symptoms, but the fever was pretty scary. By dinner, he at least wanted to eat some applesauce so that was an improvement.
Thankfully he woke up this morning feeling much better. He slept through the night, didn't have a fever all day and was back to his normal inquisitive, bubbly, active self. He ate a bit less, but still was back to eating and even did some online work that his class was doing at school. Needless to say, after two days at home we are BOTH ready to be back at school tomorrow. :)
