Last night I found myself doing something I haven’t had to do in like 8 months…rocking with Ben at 1 AM in the morning. He’s been running a fever with no additional symptoms. I went in to check on him like I normally do when I get done scrapping and he was burning up. Rectal put him at 104.3.

Mike said Ben kept pointing toward our bedroom for me but finally settled for music instead.<\/p>\n
