So today, we had a sick kid at the house. When Ian woke up this morning, he was running a fever. So instead of going to school, he got to stay home with me.
Piece of cake, right? I mean... Just monitor his fever, let him get some sleep, make him some tea and soup, and so on... Well, I thought so until I had a conversation with Esther.
Just so you know, Esther is a doctor. So she always knows how to handle any illness that comes along. And before she left to go to the hospital this morning, she gave me a briefing.
...Long story short, the conversation was peppered with words such as "rectal", "suppository", and "anis".... Ummm, yeah, about that... I was silently freaking out to say that least.
Luckily, though, Ian's fever didn't start rising til after dinner, and by that time, Ian and I both agreed to wait for Esther to administer the medicine. So I did not have to put on the latex gloves, grab the baby oil, and.... Ugh! I don't even want to think about it!!
However, I did get to "witness" how it was done. ...And that was awkward enough.
So here is hoping Ian feels better tomorrow. Not only for his sake, but also for my sake... Cause I'm not sure I can do it...
