And the Boys Ate!
Simon was up every four hours last night, once the Tylenol wore off, with a fever spike. It was the scariest night we've ever had with him - scarier than the Night of Blood. He was so very very hot and completely delirious (he always woke up singing) and we couldn't do anything but medicate him slightly and give him more water and more ice. About 2 pm this afternoon Simon started to move about the house normally and asked for some mac and cheese. He ate and then, for dinner, asked for pasta and toast and scrambled egg and cheese and a sandwich and an apple and a pumpkin muffin and some fries and three popsicles. He didn't actually eat very much but his desire for that much food probably means he is on the mend.
In the mean time, Adlai was feeling pretty hungry and not at all feverish so we decided to give rice cereal a try. We're not sure if he hated it, tolerated it, or loved it. He cried while opening his mouth for each spoonful, swallowing it down, and made moves for the next bite. We fed him quite a bit and only stopped when he refused to swallow what was already in his mouth.
