Mystery Solved

After my toddler’s fever broke early yesterday, my little tyrrant developed a rash that’s spread along his back and chest. We called the doctor last night around 7-ish.

He returned our call at…3 AM!

I had just dozed off when the phone started ringing. 3 AM phone calls are NEVER good. I just about fell out of bed trying to reach the cordless phone on my dresser. When I answered it was the pediatrician, sounding rather relaxed. There was music and activity in the background, indicative of what I can only imagine was a late night shindig. Perhaps a rave. I don’t know. I was a mess, I thought someone was dead, I thought someone was hospitalized. Nobody calls our house in the pre-dawn hours unless it’s life or death. In this case, it was a glitch in his answering service’s transmittal, something he apologized for…just not nearly enough.

It’s nice to have a diagnosis for what’s been ailing my little boy, only less so at 3 AM on a Saturday night. The viral infection pretty much resolves itself, and keeping his fever down was really the only treatment, so we fared well all things considering. My nerves were shot after that call though, I was twitching for half an hour before I finally fell off to sleep. Then had my usual 8 AM wake up call, which goes something like “mommymommymommymommymommymommymommymommy”. No snooze button on that one.
