Re: Staying home instead...

[Guest guest]

Sorry Putter feels bad. Boone will allow his temperature to be taken on his

forehead with one of those new forehead thermometers. We just tell him we

need his number and we have to get it from his head and he's cool with it.

We have not been successful with any other sort of thermometer, not even

under the arm.

There is a " thermometer by VICKS that you place under the arm. It is a sticker

believe it or not and it is pretty accurate. I have good luck with it when I

have used it with Trevayne and set and they have some " nice " sensory

issues. Just a thought for the future.

Staying home instead...

No Mass for us today, I guess.

I picked Putter up from bed and carried him out to the living room to dress

him for church. He felt hot. He sat up and gave a long nasty cough, sounded

very productive.

Yuck.

I was not able to take his temperature and so I am not totally certain, but I

rather think he is sick.

I need a REALLY fast thermometer.

I considered leaving him at home with Enrique but was flummoxed by the concern

that, although he was coughing and did not show signs of having any stomach

upset (as if he'd tell ME!), what if he threw up when Enrique was alone with

him? Enrique would die. Putter would get no help from Enrique, so I think I

just have to stay here and Robbie will miss religious ed and Sophie will miss

Mass.

And Lou wanted Sophie to spend the night with him last night so he could take

her to his church (he is really bugging me about taking them to his church right

now), and he will act snippy about it probably.

Boo, hiss.

Well, I was trying to take his temperature under the arm, but he fought like

a little tiger. I think he would object to a sticker too. Is it like a

bandaid? He will wear bandaids on injuries (but he has only just consented

to do that in the past few months). I certainly do not care about terribly

accurate; at the moment all I have is my hand and I have to go around

feeling all the foreheads and trying to decide based on that. I do think he

is ill as he seems very quiet this morning.

it is a bit stiffer tan a band aid sp perhaps that will be a problem. Sully

was terrified of band aid until he was five.

Hope he's better soon!

Ha, I never told, did I?

Putter was FINE!!!!!

Well, he obviously had a very bad cold, very bad cough for several days and

a runny nose, but I do not think he needed to stay home from Mass. Just one

of those tough calls you have with a child who does not tell you how he

feels.

Really, tho, do you think Enrique could have handled Putter coughing all

over the place?

Did Lou say anythign about it?

Oh lovely. Take off diaper, hug mommy, & pee on her. Follow up by having

diahrrea all over the floor. I gotta go.
