Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

I definitely have a mild case of PTSD (as us mental health people call it) when it comes to Jack getting sick. Jack woke us up with a scream this morning and felt warm when i got him out of his crib. I took his temp. and it was at about 100 degrees. I immediately felt anxious and depressed all at the same time because all I could think about was the last time he was sick, which was the week of 105 degree fever and the chaos surrounding it (antibiotic shots in his legs, is it viral? Is it an infection, etc, etc).

Well, after a dose of tylenol, the fever has dropped, but he still looks and seems to feel... cruddy. No other symptoms and he's napping now, so please everyone, keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't turn into anything.

We cancelled swimming lessons for today. Bummer.
