Corey's 6 month shots.

Last Thursday, Corey received his 6 month shots. It was the first time mom did not come with us for a doctor's appointment and so it was kind of nerve racking but I got through it.

Corey got recircumcised, his foreskin grew back and he needed to get it pushed back. The doctor said it was going to hurt big time but it didn't phase him one bit. He's a strong little boy!

We then had to put him through getting his shots. I had to hold him down which really sucked and it was my first time doing it. Right before the nurse gave him the shots, I had remembered I needed to give him Tylenol for it to not hurt as much and to avoid fever. It didn't help much but I gave it to him before he got the shots. He screamed and cried. I was so sad for him. We got home and he slept the whole day. When he woke up, I had to go to work but I let Chris know he needed Tylenol, a whole dropper and a half. HE ONLY GAVE HIM A HALF A DROPPER. And by the time I knew about it, it was time for his next dose of medicine. But he was asleep so I waited a whole hour before giving it to him. I gave him that dose and we all went to sleep. By the time, we woke up, Corey had a fever. His first fever since he was born...I felt so guilty for not taking care of him well enough. He had a fever until Friday night.

Saturday, my mom took him so Chris and I could go out. She called me at one in the morning saying he had a fever of 100.3. I was sooo tired and I could have sworn she said 100 and 3! I was like 'Mom! We gotta take him to the hospital, his brain is frying!!' Mom was like, 'Listen carefully, he has a hundred POINT three temp, he's fine, I'm just calling to let you know.' I was very relieved. When I went to go get him that morning, he had no fever and he hasn't had a fever since.

So, I survived his first fever. It was scary but we got through it!
