A Day Off

The author is exhausted today and has to take the day off. Last night, the child had a fever and was up all night, only sleeping three hours. We took the child to the hospital during the day, but all the tests came back negative, and they couldn't find anything wrong. The fever hasn't subsided today; it reached a high of 40 degrees Celsius, and we have to give the child fever-reducing medication every few hours. The child cries and fusses, and it looks like it will be another sleepless night. The doctor said if the fever doesn't break after three days, the child will have to be hospitalized.
