Fame is fleeting.
We didn’t even get our 15 minutes.
On Sunday Noodle woke up with a 102 degree fever. It lasted the entire day, and into the next. Then Bee broke out in hives, an apparent reaction to the antibiotics he is on for his ear infection. BOO.
The last thing we want to do is bring our germs into a NICU of fragile babies, so we had to reschedule our television interview and Care Bag drop-off. We have a tentative date set for two weeks, I’ll let you know for sure as it gets closer. Don’t want to get my hopes up again!
Of course, today– the date we should have been interviewed– Noodle is no longer hot and Bee’s hives have subsided. Ah, well. Better safe than sorry. I’m wrapping them in bubble wrap for the next two weeks until those bags are in the hands of families that need them!
Side note: HOW SCARY are hives?!? Some welts were the size of thumbprints and others resembled chicken pox. Anyone else ever deal with that? Whew, I’m so not good at this parenting thing. I’m a total wreck.

🙁 Sorry you missed your interview and have had such a time with fevers and hives. I don’t have any children, but Oh Yeah! I’ve had hives!! They can be really scary…and nerve-racking! And considering I have a tendency to be allergic to almost everything, I’m real careful about what I put in and on my body!! LOL I HATE taking antibiotics. I’ve had numerous reactions to them too…I hope everybody continues to feel better…and hive-less and…fever-less!! 🙂

Hives are scary, and so is ANYTHING that happens to our babies. Totally understand!

Hey at least you know that eventually you will get to deliver your goodies. 😉 Hives are super scary! My oldest had them after an antibiotic once too and I kinda freaked out and rushed her back to the doctor. Waking up to a hot, red welt covered kid that’s crying will do that to a person, lol.
PS your title made me smile too! 🙂
