Dylan's Days

My son Dylan is just over 10 months old now. He is a very rambunctious as he seems to have a lot of energy to burn off. He is crawling around our home as though he is on a mission to get to somewhere or something in a rush. Over the last week he was sick and ran an extremely high fever. My Doctor’s instructions were to monitor his fever, keep him cool and ensure he stays hydrated. As a new mom, this was a very overwhelming and I am sure he will run many fevers, fall down, bump his head and get many cuts and scrapes through out his life.
