Rishi's Trip to Madison

When we planned the trip , we always had it in the back of our minds..How is Rishi going to take it ..Infact I kept asking him .."Rishi we have lot of plans at Madison ..Do you have any ??!" Little did I know that he was just going to throw our plans out of gear...
All along when we were planning the trip I was only worried on how he would be behaving in the car .. Because he never enjoyed sitting in his "Car Seat". I never thought about how he would be in someone's house...I really didnt have my plans for the same ..Honestly ..!!! And that I now realise is the biggest mistake !
The trip was memorable for "Rishi" for lot of wrong reasons :( .Rishi was totally out of place..Total unlike "Rishi". I think the issue was that we had given him his shots (vaccines) on Friday and we travelled on saturday.
He had fever for the most of saturday ..He was very quiet ..He kept sleeping most of the time in the Car. But when we were nearing Madison his fever started rising and he became really cranky.. ( We took the vaccine because the doctor said he could take it and travel. Infact he got the same set of vaccines which he had got in his 3rd month and at that time he didnt get fever.. )
Saturday evening when we landed in Lakshmi's place the time was around 10 PM ..:( He was totally cranky ..I tried to feed him milk ..He wouldnt take it ..He was very naggy . Around 11 PM he just started crying ..not in minimal sound as he usually does ..He was screaming his throat out .So unlike Rishi I thought to myself but he continued to go bizzare .........He constantly was crying ..I tried everything in my sleeve ..Toys ..Pacifier ..Milk ..Diaper Change ..Dress Change ..My usual Kudaram Song , his string of Poems ..., Nothing worked. He kept screaming ..I was in tears not knowing what to do .. Appa started crying ..It was a really unforseen situation..Chitti, Shreeya all were running and trying to do different things to calm him down. Nothing practically worked..Raja was tensed and helpless though he constantly kept helping us out with diff solutions nothing worked that day..I was just thinking that we might have to rush him to a hospital emergency because we didnt know why he was crying and we didnt know what could practically get him down.
Finally we found a solution .....Thankfully ..Yes !!!! a "Rocking chair" and luckily we found one in Lakshmi's house..And in 15 mins we managed to rock him to sleep..
POOHHHHHHHHHH..What a relief ,. ! Thank GOD !
I have never seen Rishi this cranky before ...When i spoke to my Aunt this morning (Devaki Athai) she told me that it was because of the change of place..Babies usually do not enjoy ""change of place" I believe..An experience of my life ...Painful ...unforgettable day in my life when I was a Helpless "Mother"I now keep telling Rishi ...There are no more trips for you until you turn 3 ..Your trip outside will be to Kroger, Meijer,Wal-Mart, K Mart and to your pediatrician ... Ha ha ha ..
