Bruce's first sick visit

No you're not crazy, I'm back posting, just got behind :)

Bruce had his first sick visit to the pediatrician today (8/27). He woke up Wednesday night around 11:30 PM. He had thrown up in his crib while sleeping and was shivering. It was so sad. We took his temperature and it was 101 degrees (which we later found out is considered just a low-grade temperature). As first-timers, we weren't quite sure what to do (Aunt Rhonda almost got a late night phone call). Luckily our pediatrician offers a 24-hour on-call Nurse who we spoke to and she told us to continue to watch him through the next day. He fell back asleep and the next day he was eating less and had digestive problems. Knowing that we had our big trip to Nebraska coming up that weekend, we took a trip to the pediatrician to make sure everything was okay. The doctor thought he might have rotavirus as she had seen a few cases that day. Not sure he really had that, but she said just to watch how he does over the next couple days and if his fever came back to give a call. He worked whatever it was out of his system and had no problems travelling or while in Nebraska. So we may have jumped the gun a bit, but wanted to check it out before leaving town. So we survived Bruce's first little fever/illness. We are blessed that he has been such a healthy little boy.

Will work on posting fun pics from our trip over the next couple weeks!
