Jack - State Hockey Tournament

This week was full of excitement. On Wednesday Josh woke up with a low grade fever around 5am. I gave him tylenol and we let him sleep in until 8:00 am. He woke up smiling and laughing so I figured it was nothing. By noon I had a phone call from daycare saying he was having a rough day. By dinner time, it was a full blown fever of 103.5F.

Thursday, I stayed home with him and we cuddled on the couch and caught a few zzz's. At 11am, we tuned into my little bro Jack's first State tournament game on the internet. He was playing at the Excel Energy center. It was AWESOME to be able to watch it on the internet since we couldn't be there in person. The broadcast was like an NHL hockey game. He played very very well, but in the end his team, Hill Murray, lost. Josh and I had a great time listening and cheering them on. Although it didn't matter to Josh which team scored, he was so excited to yell GOAL as loud as he could. Fever and all.
That was definitely the most fun we had all day. And back to being miserable... his temp was around 103.5-103.9F for the rest of the week. The nurses oncall must have been so sick of me calling... because I was paranoid about his fever (seizure he had last year from a high spike in temp). But we hung in there. Over the weekend the fever broke but his nose was running, he was sneezing, and coughing. The poor little man. We laughed pretty hard though when he sneezed because it was like a rocket... ha ha! Thank goodness for small tissue packs.
Jack's team played at Mariucci Arena for the rest of the State tourney and finished well. We were able to watch the game ticker online and enjoyed all the phone calls from family attending the game giving us the updates. Gotta love MN hockey!

Only 1 more week till Mexico!!!
