My little boy spiked a fever out if nowhere and it wouldn't quit. I finally got it to stop with Tylenol after quickly approaching 103.2.
I posted in Facebook asking if anyone had experienced such a quick and hard hitting fever.
Within seconds my phone was beeping like the NASA control center at launch time! Texts, comments, private messages, phone calls...I couldn't keep up!
Within 3 minutes my phone is ringing (from Mr. Boy I told you about a while back that I ordered to date another woman....lol...if you missed that blog ya gotta hop back a few and read That Lovely Gentleman I Was Tellin' Y'all About post. Funny stuff)
He's on the line and before I can say hello he's asking "what do you need and how can I help?" Without so much as a moments hesitation he hopped in his car for a 30+ minute drive to scoop us up and accompany us to the ER.
I swear a little gray Prius has never looked so wonderful. I'm used to making these awful trips alone. This time it would have been trying to carry two sleepy children in the dow pour of rain and maneuver the Emergency Room shenanigans a hot mess!
Ah, but up strolled the Prius and a stand in parent for the night. I was so relieved.
All day today follow up texts, posts, messages poured in checking on my little guy.
I am so thankful for community. So thankful there are people who care beyond just themselves and their needs.
What could have been a terrible, lonely, wet night turned out to be full of ER room laughs, tons of love and warm fuzzies.
Highlight moment: Pulljng away from hospital as goofball Mr. Boy is screaming "I don't feel safe at hoooome! I don't feel safe at hooooome!" (Finding fun in the nurse needing to ask us this question for typical safety protocol) I swear I was dying, waiting to see the flashing lights.
All in all... Good community is rad. Thanks, good folks of my little community. Y'all are good stuff.
