The Beaver

Gabriel is sick, and he has been for a long time. I won't bore you with all the details, but for the first time in a long time the thought of the ER came to my mind last night. Chad and I could not get his fever down...or as Gabriel calls it, his "beaver." It was close to 103, and I don't like 102...then we noticed this rash on his chest. He was on fire!

Turns out it is strep, and he's a pretty good patient, actually. I felt bad for him though last night. He seems to have the worse trouble at night time.

In times like those, being a mommy is bittersweet! You want to make it better so badly for them, but you love the snuggle time.
