wwyd re: party?
One of my friends is having a birthday party for her 3 year old tomorrow. Her 1 year old has a fever, as high as 103.6. He gets this periodically where he jsut gets a fever and is really cranky and all, but it goes away in a few days. She's taken him to a doc before and it's not an ear infection or anything they could see. But it keeps recurring.
Anyway, she said she'd understand if we dont want to come to the party now, but I know she thinks that somehow this isn't something I should worry about. But honestly I do. I dont' want whatever this mystery illness is, especially not with Cooper.
Am I over reacting?
Any idea WTF could be wrong with her kid to get sick like this about once a month?

This. Were you planning to take Cooper to begin with?
MAybe he's a werewolf?
Julia gets a fever all the time of around 102 and is super cranky for a few days. Then a few days later, a tooth pops through.
If you're not comfortable, then don't go. I'm not sure I would either but fever isn't always a bad thing.

You don't understand the appeal of Benedict Cumberbatch / think he's fug / don't know who he is? WATCH SHERLOCK. Until you do, your negative opinion of him will not be taken seriously.
My brother had something kinda like this when he was a kid, although quite a bit older. He would randomly spike high fevers every couple of months with no other symptoms. A couple of times it got so high he had to go the ER. The best diagnosis my parents ever got was that he had some kind of virus in his body that just flared up every now and then. It eventually went away, and no one that we know of caught it from him, so I doubt it was a contagious virus.
My not-a-parent-yet opinion is that it's not worth the risk of exposing your tiny little baby!
Yeah, I weas planning to leave Cooper home with Steve, but I just worry that if Ben or I get sick, it's the same as having taken Cooper anyway....
I just think 103.6 is not teething. That's way too high. Plus he got this weird fever thing when he was younger than teething too. It's weird. Maybe it is a werewolf thing. I hadn't thought of that. I'll tell her to contact a specialist.
Anyway, now Steve is sick or something - really bad headache, so I dont' think I can leave anyone with Steve anyway. Which blows b/c if I don't go to this party, I was going to get to go to a cookie exchange with my friends that I really really wanted to go to. But now that Steve's such a basket case (and the fact that I haven't baked cookies yet) I think I'll have to bail on that too.
I personally wouldn't take Cooper. 103 is way to high for it to be teething. My pedi said nothing over 99 would be teething. I would think Virus, and that's not something you want expose your LO too.
Sounds like she understands, if you aren't comfortable, don't feel bad. Your children come first!
I wouldn't risk it with Ben OR Cooper. Some PP's suggested teething but isn't 103 a little high for teething?
TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
yeah we didn't go.
honestly i think there would be more risk in bringing Ben than bringing Cooper. Ben touches things and Cooper doesn't. So it would be easy for Ben to catch something and bring it home.
