I was at the store with my grampa, picking out his groceries painstakingly slowly when Marty txt'd me that Drew felt really hot and was acting lethargic. I told him to get Drew a cool wet cloth, give him some water, and grill my brother about how much sun Drew had had today. Turns out Drew was wearing a hat and sunscreen all day, but was outside for 3+ hours and came home to a late nap. He was lethargic when he woke up. Marty gave Drew some tylenol but he still wouldn't drink water or milk, so I grabbed some pedialyte at the store and got home ASAP. Marty had the fan on and the windows open (it was the first hot day of the year here). Drew seemed sleepy. I gave him some pedialyte and he drank it while I re-wet his cloths. A few minutes later the poor guy threw up, first time since he choked on that tortilla chip about a year ago!
We watched some TV and then I put Drew to bed at 9pm, he went willingly. Marty checked on him abotu an hour later and he was sweating, so we put an oscillating fan in his room and last I checked, he had cooled off a lot. I smooched his cheek and he touched it with his hand, in his sleep ;( Poor little guy. If he's worse thru the night / in the morning I'll reschedule my facial appointment, but otherwise I think he just got too much heat today.
In other news, it turns out the character of Liberty Bell in Juno is one of our patients! Woo hoo, I'm famous-by-association! :D
Tonight: 3 slices of pizza and 3 beers after Drew went down. I'm wearing my mom's restored pearl necklace, and it makes me want to cry with sadness and beauty.
