What a weekend....
Quinn woke up with a low grade fever friday morning. He was Ok all day but started running hot friday night.
Saturday he was fine, up and playing and happy running 102 ish. Then around 5pm it went up to 103 and he became listless and just layed. He slept in our room beside our bed and I checked him about once every hour or so and he ran hot all night and I didn't get a good nights rest.
Today he was fine again, running 102-103 then he just stopped and it spiked! 105.2! WTF?
We're big believers of letting a fever run it's course but he's never had one over 104. We were trying to decide if we should find a medi center or stay home so I called the Health link. They said give him Tylenol and a warm bath. If it get up to 105.8 with Tylenol to call them back...
So I am glad we didn't head to a medi clinic it would have been a waste of time.
We got it lower and now is 102ish.
Poor little guy. It's been a rough weekend for him. I hope he's better for school tomorrow. As far as we can tell this is related to a nasty cough he has.
I would like to add that the $70 digital instant ear thermometer I bought last year was the Best investment! I wish I had bought one YEARS ago!
