Trip to the doctor & a brag moment on Adam

Well, first let me catch you up on what led to the doctor appointment today. Sunday morning I woke up with an awful headache. It wasn't getting any better, so I took some Tylenol (since my choices are so limited right now). I did this all throughout the day, and it didn't get any better, it actually got worse. I woke up with the headache again Monday morning, but by this time I couldn't move my head or lower my body without the pain being unbearable. My neck and down into my back were aching as well. So I thought maybe I was dealing with some kind of sinus infection b/c the main part of the "hurt" was in my forehead area. I bought some Sudafed, and that didn't touch it. When I got home I was in so much pain that I decided I was going to call the doctor on Tuesday morning. About 30 minutes after I got home I started freezing, and could not get warm. I went to bed @ 7:30 pm, and before the night was over my fever got up to 101.6 . This morning the fever was gone, but the headache was not. So, I called in and spoke with my regular nurse, and the doctor called me back a couple hours later, and told me that he wanted me to come in this afternoon. The dr. run several tests and told me afterward that he was checking to see if I had meningitis!! I was floored by that, but Thank God he ruled that out! He said that he feels like I have been dealing with a severe migraine all this time, and it is causing me to have muscle spasms in my neck and back. However, he is baffled on where the fever came from. That is what initially had him check me for meningitis - that and the ongoing headache. He wrote me a prescription for something that I HOPE will take care of both problems. He said that if I have any more fever or the migraine is not gone in a couple of days to call back.

Now for my brag moment on Adam!!!!!

When I went to pick him up this evening from daycare, and one of his regular teachers was still there. She said that they used the childrens hand to make turkeys today for thanksgiving. So they explained to the children about Thanksgiving, and read books on all kinds of things to be thankful for. They went around to each child and made the turkey pictures with them, and asked them what they were thankful for. She said Adam thought for a minute and said, "baby Hannah". When she told me that, I just cried. She said she came so close to calling me today to tell me that, and hearing that this evening just made my day. He is going to be such an awesome big brother, and "baby Hannah" will be blessed to have him to look up to.
