Long, Rough Night

Were do we start with the day we had yesterday. First off it was pay day and guess who needed groceries? That's right the Ringman's. So we made a long dreaded trip to the commissary (grocery store on post). Not the place you want to be when everyone gets paid. We made it through our shopping without too many crazy events. As we waited in the LONG line to check, Brenden began to fall asleep. I notice then that he felt warm to the touch. Once we made it home he finished his nap and woke up feeling a little warmer. Nothing that Tylenol could not take care of, or so I thought. Fever broke we are back to normal playing with sissy. Not long after that we were back to square one with a fever (101 under the arm) and not eating and crying and wining. More Tylenol. It did not seem to help so we headed to the worse place on post, the ER. We arrived at 800 and waited and waited and waited. Listening to the others that have been sitting and waiting talk about how long they have been there and how excited they were to see each be called back. I thought for sure this was a mistake and that we would be sent home with Tylenol and Motrin reason because of teething. Well we are called back for vitals and find Brenden's temp to be at 104.2, not going home being told he is teething tonight. After receiving both Motrin and more Tylenol we waited some more. While waiting, his fever broke and he wanted to play with sissy again. Once we were called back to see the "doctor" we answered any and every health question you could think of and then she looked Brenden over. Finding nothing more then a burger nose, we were sent out the door with some meds for fever, allergies and nasal congestion. We headed home at 1030-1100. This was a record breaking trip for us at the ER. Two an half - three hours for a trip was better then many other trips. Making it home and getting a few hours sleep before our crazy day started today with more meds to keep this fever down and now diarrhea (side effort from meds). Keeping this kid hydrated will be our task today. More updates along the way.
