Gavin woke up from his nap with a fever. It's 102.1 right now. He NEVER runs fevers- not w/ an ear infection, bronchitis, throat infection, nothing. Seriously- the highest he's ever had before was 101 and that was after shots and only lasted a couple hours. I also never get a fever unless I have strep or flu so I'm thinking he's got one of these. The Dr couldn't get us in today b/c everyone is panicked about swine flu so they are overrun. So we have an appointment at 9:20 tomorrow. I am just at a total loss b/c he has no symptoms- he's been happy and playful all week. Just finished his breathing treatments 2 days ago and no more cough or wheezing. He just clearly doesn't feel good and has a fever. I'm not worried about swine flu- we haven't been anywhere to be exposed and honestly I think the whole thing is blown out of proportion anyway. I just want to be sure that we start treating it fast b/c if he's anything like me, I always go downhill fast and can get dehydrated in an hour. He's being stubborn and won't drink... I'm hoping he'll take a popsicle for me. Please send us some happy get well thoughts!
Maybe you have these already but pedialyte makes freezer pops and the publix pharmacy by my house always has them frozen and ready to go. Maybe try that? I hope he feels better ASAP.
Aw, I hope he feels better. Caroline has a double ear infection right now so we have been dealing with really high temps. The only thing I can get her to drink when she does not feel good is purple Gatorade. She loves it! I hope it is nothing too serious.
We're right there with you. We rocked out at 103.4 this afternoon. Called the pedi, gave her some Motrin and a cool bath and we're down to 100.4. Thank God!!
If it hadn't gone down, I'd be sitting at Egleston right now. G got her MMR, Hep B and Pneumococcal vaccines yesterday. The pedi's a little concerned about a reaction, but G's also coughing, so it COULD be just some ick. We go in for a visit tomorrow a.m.
I'm trying trying trying not to think of the swine flu. Pedi said no cases in GA yet...
