Caleb woke up with a fever two nights ago.  Yesterday he seemed to feel okay, but just not active.  He watched movies most of the day.  Today, he has not eaten or drank anything.  I finally got him to eat some graham crackers for dinner and a few sips of water and OJ here and there.  He has continually turned down milk all day.  If you know how much he likes milk, you know the gravity of this statement.  He would much rather drink milk than eat most meals.

After dinner, it was time for the bath I’ve been putting off all day hoping he’d perk up.  But his fever is coming back, he has goosebumps everywhere and is starting to feel like you could cook hot dogs over him again.  He didn’t want a bath, and I was trying to figure out how to keep him from freaking out and shivering the whole time with most of his body out of the water.  I didn’t want to fill up the whole tub just for 10-15 minutes trying to keep him warm and calm (he usually plays way longer in less water).  So here’s what I came up with.  Not only is he happy to be in the bath, he’s quite enjoying something different.

Oh the uses of rubbermaids…

    Holy crap….that is awesome! Genius!

    This virus is floating around. We had it here last week. It doesn’t seem to last very long, thankfully.

    Hope he is feeling better soon :)
