Well, instead of heading off to Wichita today to shop till we drop, I've changed gears and gone into Nurse Nancy mode. Jeff is coughing, sneezing, and fighting a fever, so we've postponed the trip and I'm babying him. Our thermometer is on the fritz; it registered 188.8 degrees before AND after I put it in his mouth, so I went to Plan B. "This is what my mom always did when I had a fever"---and I plopped a cool, wet washcloth on his forehead, gave him a back rub, and he went back to sleep. Now, I'm off to the grocery store to get orange juice, 7-Up, chicken noodle soup, and cough drops. It's payback time, and I am happy to oblige. But if he's not feeling by better tomorrow, I'm going shopping by myself.

A CHANGE IN PLANS
Well, instead of heading off to Wichita today to shop till we drop, I've changed gears and gone into Nurse Nancy mode.

Our thermometer is on the fritz; it registered 188.8 degrees before AND after I put it in his mouth, so I went to Plan B. "This is what my mom always did when I had a fever"---and I plopped a cool, wet washcloth on his forehead, gave him a back rub, and he went back to sleep.

don't forget the ibuprofen and tylenol
He's been taking baby aspirin and sucking on Chloraseptic lozenges. He promises he'll be ready to escort me tomorrow. Thanks for the doctor's advice. :)
