On Thursday afternoon Landon woke up from his nap crying. When I got him out of his crib he was hot and sweaty. Although his normal post-nap self is sometimes cranky, he was out of sorts more than normal. After a bit I decided to take his temperature and discovered that LT had his first fever - 105 degrees! I immediately gave him a dose of children's Advil and called the Pediatrician right away. I was pretty scared since it was his first fever and it seemed awfully high. I thought I was going to be driving to the hospital, but I followed their directions and a few hours later, his temperature dropped considerably. Friday morning, LT had a temperature of 102 and we decided to bring him into the doctors. Turns out he has his first ear infection! Now he's taking his first antibiotic ...
I feel so blessed that Landon has been so healthy so far. Considering he'll be two on June 18th and this was his first fever and the first time he's ever taking an antibiotic, we're doing really well! Maybe breastfeeding for LT's first year helped or maybe he's just lucky - but either way, I feel lucky to have such a healthy and wonderful son. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for having blessed me with such a healthy, loving, and wonderful boy.
