was one of those days that brought me to my knees.<\/p>\n

You know the kind, where you find a ray of sunshine coming in your window and you plop yourself down in it and you let it go. You cry, you pray, you turn it over. <\/p>\n

That was me today. <\/p>\n

That was me, up at 4am, and then hours of an un-ending 104+ degree fever from Blake. After meds and cool towels. Fever, a high high fever that just would not break. His cheeks were purple, his body almost painful to touch. His tears. My tears.<\/p>\n

Calls to the dr., and then more..<\/p>\n

She says to double his meds- try advil and tylenol at the same time- adult dose. <\/p>\n

It worked.<\/p>\n

His fever came down to 101.<\/p>\n

And then he could eat, say goodbye to his grandparents. Feeling good enough to allow me to head a couple street over to watch Austin’s Super Bowl game. And then later an hour at his end of season football party.<\/p>\n

When I get home he is happy, watching movies. His color is back to normal, he does a little dance for Eva.<\/p>\n

I feel more peaceful, but cautiously so.<\/p>\n

I love this kid. <\/p>\n
