Chill Out, Dude!

Another interesting weekend with Carter and another visit to the doctor's office. This time, we were dining with some friends (I say "dining"...but we really crammed the food in our mouths and jetted within 5 minutes of being served...very, very bad guests are we!)...anyway, Carter started feeling a little warm, so we checked his temperature at Jim & Wendy's. The lil' guy was around 102...

Here he is looking a little bummed about it:
After some Tylenol, his fever went down and then broke around 10PM Sunday. I worked from home on Monday and toward the afternoon time, it shot back up to over 103. So we took him over to Urgent Care.

While they won't officially blame anything on teething, they said that part of the reason it was so high was indeed from teething...until they peeked in his ear. Yep, he has an ear infection. However, the whole time we were in the patient room, Carter was kicking around like a goon having a good 'ol time. The least he could do was ACT sick, eh?

So we've got him on his first-ever round of antibiotics and it seems to be working perfectly. Carter slept through the night and seems to be on the mend. Here he is feeling a little better about the whole situation:
In other news, getting some great rain storms here in Albuquerque for the end of our monsoon season! Our garden is getting out of control (need to look to see if my cantaloupes are ready...the bunnies ate all of my peas...*sniff*) and the astro-turf lawn is looking as green as ever! We're getting some fun stuff together for the Luau in August. Check out this sweet parachute I'm sewing - rough edges still, but should have it done tomorrow - it's for the kids and tossing the ball all around like grade school! Kitty-Kitty has been enjoying the slickness of the fabric, too:
Time for some shut-eye! Hope everyone has a terrific night!
