Poor little honey did not come through the move unscathed.
We noticed a fever on Sunday afternoon, so Chris stayed home with him on Monday. The little guy slept for 17 hours Sunday night (getting up twice to chug some water and then hitting the sack again!) and seemed to be feeling alright while he was awake -- the fever went down during the day on Monday but was back up that afternoon. I stayed home with him yesterday and was able to get an appointment at the pediatrician last night -- he still acted like he felt fine, but for the fever to hang around for a few days without any other symptoms worried us (for him and for his little brother). Turns out it's his first ear infection, so he started antibiotics yesterday -- cherry-flavored Amoxicillan, which smells so sweet it makes me sick, but Harrison didn't seem to mind. We'll have to be very particular about teeth-brushing for the next 10 days while he's eating so much extra sugar!
He'll have a good week -- Monday with Dada, Tuesday with Mama, Wednesday with Grandmama Higgins, Thursday with Grandmom Harper, then the regular Friday with Mama. Even if his fever stays down for 24 hours, we thought he deserved a week to sleep in and be pampered. He agrees so far.
