The other day we hit 94 degrees. We had a normal day like usual. Before naps we played outside for an hour. When the boys woke up we went outside and played in the pool for a few hours. We sat in the shade to stay cool.
Unfortunately this was too hot for Taylor. He came in and laid down on the couch. I figured he was tired from playing outside and the heat. We took his temp and he was running a high fever. We tried really cold washcloths all over him. We put a fan blowing right on him. Finally we tried a cool bath but nothing was working. He seemed out of it. We decided we better take him to the clinic. When we got their it seemed like I was waiting forever to check in. The lady in front of me barely spopke any english.... Once the nurse saw Taylor going unconscious they got him straight back. He was not responding, not wanting to eat a popsicle, and his fever was climbing so they called an ambulance to take him to the Hospital.
I felt so bad for him. I felt helpless. They strapped me to the board with Taylor. Poor medics had to life me and taylor into the ambulance.
Poor kiddo. This picture makes me feel so bad for him...
When we got to the Hospital they asked me if this was normal behavior for Taylor. I know he is my kid but he does not look good at all....
After two bags of fluids (they normally only give two years olds one) he was feeling much better. I am so grateful he is feeling better.
We will not be moving anywhere that gets extremely hot. Taylor and I can not handle the heat! Glad you are all better buddy!

Jake told me about this. SO sad but glad he's better! (I think Everett hates the heat too. His face turns red the minute he goes outside :(
