feels like we are starting over!

The past week has been a wild ride! About a week ago, Keith was going to daycare to pick little Noah up, when he gets there the lady says, we were about to call you, we had a sick child and we think Noah got it. ..::Great::.. So Keith is very upset. The lady had just taken his temperature and it was a 100. So the rollercoster began. I called in to work the next day to take care of my baby boy who was just pitaful! His fever was up and down and up and down. It would go up to 102.5 and then down to 97.8 and back up again he also had a slight rash starting to form all over him. I decided to take him to Dr. Manly to get him checked out and ease my mind a little bit. Dr. Manly looked him over and checked his ears, nose, mouth, rear...everything and couldnt find anything, he also took a flu test which came back negative. He told us we would have to wait it out it must just be a virus.
The next couple days were just no fun. Keith and I both had little sleep, Noah wouldnt eat and he just wanted to be held. We did as much as possible to make him comfortable and happy.
His schedule is now completely shot! Its gone! Noah started feeling better on Friday afternoon. Saturday he slept a good bit but still was happy. That brings us to Sunday. Sunday evening we did our normal thing, try to feed (ever since hes been sick hes hasnt wanted to eat), play awhile, give him his bath, and then try to give him his final bottle. We put him down around 8:30 or 9:00 and he woke up at 12:00, then 3:30 - at this time he was hungry which is strange - we gave him alittle food, then TRIED to put him back to bed which he didnt want to do! We were up till 4:45 and we both get up at 5:30.... Ill say that Monday night was a repeat! Only we didnt get him back to bed until 5:00 so theres no point in going back to bed! YAY! We are exhaulsted and thats an understatement!
Noah has been sleeping through the night since 3 months old. Im not exactly sure what has gotten into him. I dont know if hes teething or what, but i miss my baby boy that sleeps throught the night!
