Day 5 with Miles

Wednesday morning after we got home from seeing the Historic District we noticed Miles was not acting himself. Shortly thereafter he started running fever. His fever got quite high making this mama a nervous wreck!!! I probably don't express it much to anyone except my mom :-), but I am such a worrier when my kids are sick. As a nurse I don't get overwhelmed in caring for my my kids when they are sick, I can do diarrhea, throw up, and fevers no problem, but I have seen enough extreme cases and worst cases scenerios to completely blow the least little illness in to some potential life threatening situation. Other medical mamas can definitely relate, I think we all "go there" a little bit in our brains when our kids are sick.  Add to that a little fellow I haven't taken care of very long, limited communication to find out his symptoms, and quality medical care being nowhere around. Not to mention that my almost 4 year old is only 29lbs and already anemic. We had 3 rough days of fever and diaerrhea and Mama doing everything I could to keep my little man eating and drinking so he would not get dehydrated. All the worry of the rain or not having much entertainment went away, all I wanted was for Miles to get better. Finally Friday night came and we began to see real progress. His little spunky personality started to come back and he even got excited about the plane ride. I am so thankful he is feeling better and totally feel it was an answer to prayer!!!!
