Fever...!

Dear Nicky,

So yesterday you had a fever, and this morning, too. But we got some more Tylenol into you and I think it finally broke this afternoon. You barely ate a thing all day. This morning after your bath you took a nice long nap. About an hour or so into it, you started doing your "transition whine," which is when you start to cry because you can't make some kind of transition from a light sleep to a deeper one. Anyway, that's what we've been told. So, you were doing the initial part of your whine, and I knew if I left you alone you'd just work yourself up, so I picked you up and held you while you slept--for about two more hours! I was trapped! My arm went numb! You slept and slept and sweated and sweated, and I loved every second of it! This evening we checked your temperature and you were fine. Maybe it's your teeth. I'll be glad when they're all in, at last.

Love,
Dad
