BenHamean 103.1

I intended to have a posting this morning.
I intended to have a rather funny posting a "gasma," so to speak.

But, it will have to wait until later tonight.


My little Benjamin is fighting a typical little boy cold/virus/ear infection..

He's running temperatures ranging from 102.8 up to 103.2 depending on the length of time between Tylenol and Motrin. For those of you that have experienced the graces of children, this little guy when he's sick, enjoys waking up in the middle of the night, and not able to settle himself down, when running a fever. The last time we went through this "S.M.N.C"* thing, he slept soundly tucked in the nook of my arms all night long.



I intend to post the "GASMA" later on today or tonight as I mentioned above, but for right now I have to tend to my little guy. He'll be fine, probably either teething (he has 10 teeth presently) or the standard little boy ear infection.

So, to all of my favorite readers, I'll be back later with a more whimsical post called, "GASMA."


Welcome To Crustybeef~

Tired, with a bit of a sore throat, I'll be around later on, once I get my HAMEAN feeling well.

Portia:
thanks for the sweet words, and I'll be heading over to your comments when I'm done "here."

Soul:
High fevers are scary, luckily I've been through this 2 other times to know that as long as they have a wet diaper, and the fever drops 20mins after the otc stuff, we're good to go..still, you feel helpless that for such a young chap there's nothing that you can do but "be there."

DERNA!!: Good thing you didn't come over the other day..watch, The other two will get it, when Bigdogg leaves for out of town this weekend..GRREEEAAATT!! No carni for me and the boys at the "jewish holiday town." :L)

Kyrie: it is high, but generally when they have an ear infection they run high fevers. I'm more calm with #3, but when my first had that type of fever I was a frantic nut case..

Always,
Crusty~

I hope he's better now? That is a bit high for a temp, no? But as you said... an antibiotic? What did the ped say?

The pic is beautiful.

austere:
the rule of thumb is consistant fever for three days, call ped..I worry sometimes about those antibiotic's especially with recurring ear infections because ultimately it'll create a resistance, so I have an over the counter homeopathic way..
he's a bit better, cranky which is a good thing.
Always,
Crusty~
