When we got home from the hospital, Isaac claimed the couch and then fell asleep for a nap.  When he woke up about and hour ago, he was asking for pain medication, so I gave him some Tylenol.  Then I insisted he get up and head to the bathroom.  He was in so much pain he just sobbed.  I noticed that he seemed warm, so I took his temperature, and it read at 102.3 under his arm.  We called the doctor, and they said to give him some Motrin, and if his fever doesn’t come down in half an hour, he is to go back to the hospital.  So, we’ll see what happens.

Update:

Isaac’s fever came down below 100 by the time his half hour was up.  He was also acting much more perky and talkative.  He even had the gumption to go to the Bobwhite house for supper and socializing.  Everyone was glad to see him and had nice things to say to him.  I was grateful that Isaac was civil and responded politely to his loving family.

Now we’re home for the night.  We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
