Last night Jack was acting kind of tired and when I was getting his jammies on I noticed he felt really HOT. I took his temp and it was 102.5!! I gave him a dose of Motrin right away and he went to sleep finally around 10 pm...he was up an hour later and I rocked him until 12 am. This morning he woke up at 4 am with a fever of 102.6. The poor guy is supposed to start school today. We've been up since 4 am and he slept from 7-7:30 am.
On Friday I had a horrible fever and chills and stomach issues. I really think he caught whatever I had. I was totally down for the count. By the next afternoon I was feeling much better. But now this morning I've had terrible stomach issues again -- all morning!
So far Jack just has the fever, no runny diapers or vomiting or cold symptoms. I know he can't go to school today (he was supposed to start at 12:45 pm) and I am so dissapointed that he'll miss his first day. I am not running him to the ped quite yet, only because I am hoping his fever is gone this afternoon (like mine was). If not, I will take him in to be seen. He's so sad and grumpy right now, and I know how badly he's feeling since I could not get off the couch on Friday.
Please send +++ thoughts our way that he gets well and can go be a big boy (a healthy big boy) at school tomorrow or at least this week sometime.
I will keep you all posted. I must go and call the school.
Feel better Buddy!!! Too bad you've got a yucky fever, but that's how it goes sometimes. Be a good boy and listen to Mommy and you'll feel all better in no time and be able to go to school. Boy, doesn't that sound strange, Jack and school all in the same sentence, strange but wonderful!!!!
