Alec and I had to make a run to the Emergency Room yesterday. He has been sick for a week, with low-grade fevers and coughing and sniffling and the whole nine. Yesterday he had a fever of 102.6, which spiked to 103 not 5 minutes later. I was in Panicked Mommie mode. I borrowed Sarah and Jamey's truck and hauled my hind-end to the Hospital, where Alec was seen almost immediately. Thank goodness for new facilities!! He has a bad ear infection in his left ear and is on a 10-day antibiotic regimen. His ear is already draining, thankfully, he is smiling this morning, and he slept a full 12 hours last night, uninterrupted. Whew!! Spring is almost here. I'm exceedingly glad of that!!
