It is my hope that Apple is as healthy as you are! You have only been sick twice but both times have landed us in the ER at night (we got there around 11:30pm). The first time was in February when you and all your little friends caught a vomiting bug that was going around and you weren't keeping down any liquids and weren't having enough wet diapers. You were not admitted (thank goodness) but they did give you medicine to help get rid of the vomiting which allowed you to keep liquids down!
Well, the second time was on June 18, 2013 and we were at the ER just after the close of normal business hours because we missed your peds office by a few minutes. This time you had been running a fever for the greater part of the day. Daddy had been taking care of you and had been talking to your doctor's office all day to help get your fever under control but no matter what he did (and what we did once I got home) our thermometer was regularly over 103 so off to the ER we went.

Daddy and I hate seeing you sick and were glad when you did not have a temp by midday. We kept you calm and continued dosing for the following 24 hours to ensure you were ok. As I said, I hope Apple is as healthy as you are (but I hope he has better timing with his sicknesses - ER visits are not fun and are expensive!). But, Mommy and Daddy are also still learning and we will do anything to make sure you get better :)
xoxo
Mommy
