JAKE IS SICK

Jake was supposed to go to dinner and a movie with his friend Paul last night. I got a call from Paul's mom while they were at McDonald's saying that Jake was sick. He told Kristin that he was tired & NOT hungry so she felt his head & he was hot. She brought him home & he was crying because he didn't feel good & because he was going to miss the movie. We assured him that they would wait and go when he felt better, but that didn't matter...he was devastated! I got him changed, took his temp (101), gave him some ibuprofen & got him in bed and the kid was sound asleep within an hour.

This morning he's still running a temp & is content laying in his bed watching ESPN or playing with his PS2. I'm pretty sure that he hasn't realized that he missed basketball this morning. The tears will be flowing when he figures it out!
