Wren is sick

Wren woke slept lightly for a lot of the night and when I went in at 4am I found he had a fairly noticeable fever. I gave him Tylenol and he slept until 7.40am! This was fairly late even for our daylight savings morning and I think it was because he slept so badly and felt sick.

When he got up this morning he had a bad head cold and sneezing. His fever had gone in the early morning but came back before lunch and has remained at around 101-102 (I guess) until now, despite Tylenol.

He is not acting very ill - still running around and playing for short periods - but has a short attention span and likes to nurse a lot and be carried.

He has not lost his appetite and guzzled a tub of yoghurt at snacktime and chewed satsumas, goldfish and pears for lunch.

I hope he recovers soon and this doesn't become a family thing.

I'm sorry Wren is sick. It is no fun having a sick baby to take care of! I hope he gets better soon and no one else gets it. I also wanted to say thank you for all your comments on my blog. I appreciate all your input, even though I rarely comment.

Thanks Andrea
I am glad you have not been offended by my frank comments. I am sometimes accused of being blunt but I can't seem to bring myself to just give warm general support when I have an opinion :) Perhaps I need to work on that!

I have been so encouraged by your feelings of closure on the difficult decisions facing you.

Poor Wren. He's been getting sick a lot this season, huh? I hope this will be the last illness for the rest of the year! Give him lots of hugs and kisses for me...

O yeah, and how are you doing with the night time sleeping? Is he still sleeping for longer periods of time? He reminds me so much of my firstborn! NT is 2 going on 3 and still wakes up 1-2 times a night! So, I feel your pain, girl.
