Ist two weeks of school and he is already sick!

First week of school was great! Well for Mason anyway. It was pure torture for me! And being so close it took everything I had not to go over there and just scoop him up! Friday could not come soon enough! Nana and Papa came for a on saturday. We love when they come visit! We get spoiled big time when they are here. Nana cooked us a yummy dinner and Jonathan and Papa went to fill our fridge! And I just soaked up some time with my little man! Nana and Papa headed home the next day and we headed up to see Lolly and Gramps and swim with Aunt Ash and Uncle David. A couple hours after we got there we noticed that Mason was running a temp. Like true first parents we started freaking out! We brought him home and took his temp. 101!! After calling the doctor they told us to get him to the ER. Yep even more freaking out at this point!! Once we got to the ER and saw the doctor his temp was 102. Doc said that because he was so little they would have to do several test on him to determine what was since there were no obvious signs of what it could be. My heart sank as he told us what they would have to do. Draw blood, catheter and chest x-ray. I had just experienced his 2 month shots so I knew this was going to be so much worse! And it was. Having to hold my child down as they poked at him in BOTH arms to get blood was the worst thing I have ever experienced. Yes worse than child birth! I was crying just as much, if not more, than Mason was. It took all I had not punch the nurse!! After several hours and many tests they determined it was just a virus. Whew!!! Needless to say his second week of school was a short one. Jonathan said home with him the first day and then Great Nana said the second day. He was doing much better by day two but I just thought he could use a little extra loving after the horrible day he had on Sunday. And who better than a Great Nana to give to him!! Then on Friday Gran and Pa picked him up early and he got even more loving!! I will end on this. After running a 102 temp, getting poked in both arms and legs, a catheter put in and his temp taken 3 times in the not so fun way Mason was still smiling! What a wonderful kid I have!!
