I know it has been a while since I have posted. It has been a rough couple of days. Temperatures here have topped 110 degrees and we don’t have central air conditional, just a couple of window units. For some reason city planners in this area thought it was perfectly acceptable to not put air conditioning in most homes (except very new) in this area. It has been too hot to get to my computer. On Saturday, my four-year-old son got heat stroke. He was very sick for the past three days. At last, he has finally started sweating today for the first time in three days. He was running a temp of 103.4 on Saturday and had an average temp of 102 over the past couple of days. We were able to block out our livingroom and set the window unit and fans going to try to keep him cool, plus wrapping him in cool towels (which did not make him happy). We were able to bring his temp down some, but when he went outside for even a minute it shot right back up to 102. He had a fever during the night for a while last night, but his temp is now back to normal, and as I stated he is sweating when he walks outside, with no rise in temperature. So it seems we are past the danger zone, but I think I will keep him inside for the next day or two regardless, because the past couple of days have been really scary. I know I promised to post pictures of my husband’s birthday cake and the recipe. I haven’t forgotten. I will remind my dh to download the pics today and will hopefully post the recipe later today. If not for sure tomorrow. Hope everyone had a good weekend and is staying cool.

Cindy, thank you for posting (and also for commenting at my blog) as I was beginning to get concerned. Not worried exactly but… you know…
I am very upset to hear about your 4-year-old son. I can’t imaine it. I am thankful he will be fine. This must have been so scary. Being a mom is so stressful and times like this are when moms like you really show your stuff, so to speak. I am thankful you are past the danger zone. Please take care of all of you!!
It is burning here too. And i won’t use my air conditioner, just fans and it’s helping but not much. I leave Mattie at my parents’ where it is a little cooler when i am at work.
No rush on the photos, of course…
Be safe and stay cool.
I am so glad your son will be fine. That story is frightening to read. I can’t imagine living it…
*HUGS*
