Motherhood is NEVER dull!

Last night was quite a night for McKenna. She spiked a fever of 104.0 for about three hours. It was a little scary for Ryan and I. She was lethargic and was just staring at me, not really responding much. We talked to the doctor on call and she said to give it one more hour and if we couldn't get her fever under control we had to take her to the hospital. So we prayed, had other people praying, and gave her Tylenol and Motrin and striped her down to just a onesie. She finally fell asleep and her fever broke about an hour and a half later. She was soaked from sweating so much. Ryan went to change her pillowcase because it was wet and we realized that she had soaked through the entire pillow. We set an alarm to go off every three hours in our room and we both pretty much got up to give her medicine and to check on her all throughout the night. Thankfully she seems to be much better today and has now had three doses of her antibiotic. She continues to have a low degree fever every time the medication starts to wear off, so we're just keeping it in her system at this point. Thankfully I was never too worried because we knew exactly what was causing the fever - strep. It would have been a lot more concerning if we didn't know what was causing the fever.

Christian on the other hand is feeling great, slept great and has been delightful today! He changing so much lately! He asks about letters and numbers all the time. He is starting to get the concept of addition. He knows his right and left and knows his birthday, where he lives, parent's names, age and a bunch of other stuff. I haven't worked on his address or phone number because that could be changing pretty soon! Christian also used to be very entertained by TV shows and now he's over it. I guess Caillou and Handy Manny just aren't that interesting anymore. Now he likes real movies, the problem is that we don't own real movies. We've got a few Veggie Tales, but no real movies other than Disney's Cars. So we borrowed movies from our cousins and Christian is in love with this movie. He would watch it all day if I would let him. He told me he likes it because it's an "adventure story." So I guess we're going to have to invest in some real movies. Let me know if you have any recommendations. I'm pretty picky even about Disney stuff. Like I hate that scary boy in Toy Story. And the witch in Snow White is NOT okay with me. And the Little Mermaid is totally disobedient to her father! I guess I could pick apart every movie, but we do love Cars and now Tarzan and Christian did like Finding Nemo (once again disobedient to his father, but I guess it's a good lesson learned) at one point! I was thinking that maybe Bugs Life might be good, but I haven't seen it in forever. What about Madagascar and all the movies that go with it? Has anyone ever seen any of the Greatest Heros and Legends of the Bible DVD's? Or any good Bible story DVDs? Can't wait to hear what you guys have to say!
