Sick Little Matthew

Matthew has had a rough week.  He woke-up Sunday morning with a fever of 102.5.  I gave him Motrin and after a little bit he seemed to be mostly okay.  But by the afternoon, his fever had gone back up to 103.8.  Motrin didn't help so much this time.  In the night, his fever went back up over 103, so I gave him more Motrin but an hour later it was up to 104.1.  So into the tub we went.  Finally his fever went down a little but never below 101.  His fever continued for days and he laid on the couch and slept a lot.  Finally, I took him to the doctor last night and it turned out to be an ear infection (which is strange because he never gets ear infections even though all his brother have had tubes, and he never once complained about his ears).  They gave us a prescription and this morning, my little Matthew was back (and I do mean little, I think he lost weight this week from not eating).  I am just so glad he is finally feeling better!
