Halloween Yet?

Malachi woke up this morning with a 105 degree fever. He was limp and just hotter than hot. He cried when I held him or touched him anywhere and was just downright miserable. After the Motrin kicked in two hours later, he still had a 102 fever, so I called the dr. He suggested we come in. Of course, by the time we got there, Malachi was fine and dandy. He was a ball of energy and had NO fever. They ran some blood tests and the doctor inspected the rashes and said for sure it is something viral. Its a "classic textbook case". Oh how I wish I could hear those words at my doctors visits! Anyway, with how I've been feeling, I'm not real particular with how the boys dress themselves. Just as long as they know it will be hot and they need to dress accordingly. Well, the last couple pictures show what Logan and Malachi wore to the doctor's office this morning. It was so "comical" that the doctor had to take a picture of them on his bberry to show others. The doctor was checking Malachi's heart and ears and Logan leaned over, hugged him and said, "I love you!" He said, "Ah, thanks!" It was just cute. Logan's so sweet. And, to think of how he HATED doctors and offices for the longest time to now where he is where he loves his doctor. I'm so proud of how far he's come. Malachi had to get blood work, as I said, and he didn't flinch or cry at all! I couldn't believe the willpower of this child! He just looked at me in a calm way and let them prick around (they didn't get the vein on the first try). I was almost in tears because of how calm he was. It was precious. Of course, they put a band-aid on and then he said, "hurt" so we took it off so he didn't "hurt". :) We had lunch at the hospital so Shawn could buy us lunch and see the boys. Then, home for naps and off to VBS tonight and later on Bible study for me with smores! Yummy! :) I love Wednesday nights!
