MAKE A WISH, Part 5 After finishing the bottle, Mom put a cloth diaper on her shoulder and then positioned me so my head was just above her shoulder. Then she started gently patting my back and rubbing it at the same time. I felt pressure building up in my tummy and then all at once I burped. It was cool. I liked this feeling so much that I didn't want it to ever end. Then Mom said, "Honey, you still feel awful warm. We need to take your temperature." She picked me up and placed me in the crib and started to change my messy diaper. She pulled the tapes loose from the diaper and grabbed the baby wipes and started wiping around my pee pee and then turned me over. I thought this was different, before she just lifted my legs up and wiped and cleaned my bottom that way, just like she does my baby brother Josh. But anyway she took another baby wipe and started wiping my bottom clean. When she finished with that wipe, I thought to myself, now is the time for the lotion. I love the lotion part, it feels so soft and warm the way her hands gently caress my bottom with the nice warm lotion. I could hardly wait for the lotion to hit my bottom, when all of a sudden something went wrong. Mom grabbed both parts of my bottom and spread them wide, and then I felt the cold thermometer entering my rectum. Oh, what a minute, that's not where that's supposed to go. I thought, what is she doing to me. I spoke and said, "Why are you doing that?" She then explained that this is how little babies get their temperature taken. I was flabbergasted. She said, "Now lay still or we will have to do it over again". Well I certanily don't want this thing protruding from my rectum any longer then necessary, so I laid perfectly still. I said to Mom, "This isn't any fun". She laughed a little and got right back to work. In just a few moments I felt the quick grasp and pull of the thermometer out of my rectum. She said, "No wonder you have been having bad dreams, you're hot enough to cook on." Wow, I burned my hand on the stove one time and it really hurt, how could I be that hot? Mom didn't cry when she touched me like I did when I touched the stove. She then put the lotion on my bottom I had so longed for and powdered me and diapered me once again. She left the room for a moment. When she got back she had a bottle of medicine. I had to take two whole spoonfuls of the most awful stuff I had ever had. Then she told me to lay back down and try to sleep. The medicine took effect quickly and I felt my eyes getting very heavy and then........another terrible dream........I woke up at the doctor's office...... dressed in.......
