Fevers

I hate when kids get fevers




Okay, no one likes it when their kid is sick. But, to me, a fever is worse.


There is very little to do than perhaps a luke-warm bath and Tylenol.


On Saturday and some of Sunday Ryan has a really bad fever, poor kid was burning up.

Ryan was just extra whiny


I had no idea how hot he was cause we have no working thermometer


We have bought cheap ones, cheap ones for kids and then spent a bit of money on one and they ALL broke


Now today Brody has a fever


Called his preschool and told them he wasn't feeling well


Thought he could still have habilitation and respite


He got progressively worse as the day went on


He was lethargic, no appetite, no color, red eyes -the works



Yeah, this kid isn't doing anything today!

Since he looked worse I decided to feel his head again...WOW, he was burning

Again, had no idea how hot he was


Jake went to the store to get Tylenol for the fever

When Jake got back he said he spent way too much money but got a really nice thermometer cause he was sick of every time one of them has a fever we don't know how hot they are

His temp was 103.1!!!!

Tylenol and a luke-warm bath got it down but he is passed out on my bed right now

For a kid that never naps and it usually sitting on the top of a couch and playing outside on the slide that shows a lot

Oh Brody, poor kid! It is nice to have a reason for Dad to stay home but next time perhaps you can just fake it instead of looking like a zombie on the couch!!
