Sick Boy

Last Saturday, Griffin was so hyper the whole day. From morning till bedtime, he kept on talking and moving around. We went to the mall as usual and he even watched Mamma Mia with my mom and I. Although Mamma Mia was not the type of movie he would watch, he did not ask to go out of the movie house. He ate his popcorn and walked around the movie house barefoot. He only mentioned that he wanted to go home once, and I told him the movie was almost finished.

That night, he was still hyper, but at around 9:00 pm he looked sleepy already. We were downstairs at my mom's room so we went upstairs to brush his teeth and get ready for bed. Once in our room, he was playing again and even wanted to play CBeebies on the computer. I let him play, but after a while his eyes looked really sleepy so I asked him to lie down already. I was lying on our bed beside him and I could feel that he was really hot. He also started sniffling.

The next morning, he was still hot although he was quite active. I gave him Tempra to lower his temperature. That night, he still had a fever so I decided not to let him go to school. I also cancelled his appointment at the dentist. He was supposed to have fillings done on his upper molar.

Yesterday morning, he seemed OK already but last night he felt hot again. He fell asleep at 9:00 pm. Unfortunately, he woke up at 2:30 am and asked for milk in a bottle. He couldn't get back to sleep so he was watching TV while I tried to get some sleep. He finally fell asleep at 5:30 am. I was wondering whether he would be able to get up at 7:30 am to get ready for school. When I tried to wake him up, he looked so sleepy but he got up anyway. He was even in a good mood when I dropped him off at school.

I think he got the virus from the mall. As I mentioned earlier, he was barefoot in the movie house, then when we were at Food Choices, he licked his toes. Aside from our weekly Time Zone, where he could get germs from playing there. He doesn't wash his hands, then he loves putting his fingers in his mouth.

Hopefully, he's fully recovered already and I hope he has no tantrums today.
