So after my post last night I was finally ready to sleep. Todd got sucked into watching the comedy channel and I called it a night at 12 am. I had barely fallen asleep and Pravan started to cry. Todd and I bought checked in on him. He was really hot and I took off his shirt and wiped him down with a cool wash cloth. I checked his temp and it registered 98.5. It did not seem right but I did not think much of it. Pravan seemed like he was afraid of everything in his room. He was hallucinating or is seeing the spirits from the other side a real thing. I do not know. Medicine explains it happens when you have a high fever. We managed to get him to go back to sleep.
We were all asleep and he started to cry again at 2:30 am. He was screaming so loudly that he woke Priyasha up. She sat up in bed and we heard her say " what happen buther, are you okay ? " That was so cute. Todd checked on Pravan and I checked on Priyasha. She was hot as well and wanted some water. She went right back to sleep but Pravan scared both Todd and I. His hallucinations were so bad that he was afraid of us. I checked his temperature again and could hardly control his fear. He was shaking so bad and his heart sounded like it was outside of his chest. The thermometer registered 98.5 again and I knew that it was not working right. I have had this for six years now. Maybe I need a new upgraded one. I am sure they have new fancy ones. I just put all my trust in just one. I had more simple ones but got rid of them. I felt awful. The next best thing other than banging on the neighbors door to borrow one was to call the paediatrician. His doctor was on call. When he called me back I felt awful as he sounded like he was asleep. He assured me that he would be okay in a few hours. I gave him more motrin and finally he asked to get into bed with us. I let him and he slept until 9:30 am this morning. Here is what is so funny. A few days ago he was five and I could give him 1.5 tsp but now that he is six he gets 2 tsp. Isn't that amazing. He does not weight anymore more than he did a few days ago. Yet if I administered 2 tsp a few days ago it would have been considered overdosing the kid. Well that seems to be a fascinating concept to me.
When Pravan and Priyasha got up they were both fine. Keara was dropped off at 11am and I planned on staying home today. Pravan really wanted to have his friend Dylan over. Candice, Dylan and Raya came over for lunch and the kids stayed until 5pm.Candice was so sweet she brought over he thermometer for em to use until I get a new one. Keara had a two hour nap and when she was awake she was so happy. She loves playing with Priyasha and Priyasha enjoys playing mommy.
When Todd get home we will have dinner and then I will head over to Keara's house and put her down for the night. Her mom is a nurse and she will be home at 10:30pm. I enjoy getting some peace and quiet at her house before 9pm which does not always happen at my house. Okay that is all for today. Thanks for looking. I promise tomorrow I will add more pics and publish the birthday post
