Nicholas is home from daycare today, as he was yesterday. Since I need to use his naptime to squeeze in some work, this will be brief, but here is the update:
He has had a fever since Sunday afternoon, with no other symptoms. This is proceeding exactly like his last ear infection, but since he isn't pulling on his ears or reacting when we touch them, the doctor treats it as a random fever rather than a possible ear infection, so won't see him until the fever has gone on for 4 days. I will call tomorrow morning (because I insist on counting Sunday and Weds each as one of the 4 days even though it will have been less than 3 full days) and try to get him in. My hope is to have him back in daycare on Thursday because I have a lot to do before he and I begin our busy few weeks of travel.
For now he is in delightful spirits as long as he has some Tylenol in him to keep the fever down. As he goes about happily playing it is aggravating that he can't be at daycare, but I know that they can't risk exposing the other kids to him when we don't know what is wrong.
That's no fun - no fun at all. Hope you find some time to get something done for you while you're home.
