DAY 39

Ty awoke with a low grade fever and good spirits, albeit he is weak. I did manage to get his tea in last night. Was surprised actually because his fever got very high so I gave him a sponge bath to lower it and dosed more motrin. The bath brought it down from 105 to 102.5, but then after he snuggled down in our bed for some TV, it shot back up to 103.5 - this about 45 mins. after a full dose of motrin which should have kicked in sooner. So, I gave him his tea, and within 5 mins the fever was down to 99 - timing fluke or kind of interesting?



Fever spiked again this afternoon after AM motrin wore off. I have to think he is just having a heavy viral episode. When the motrin is working, he is happy go lucky, but the minute the fever returns, he is down for the count - so NO other true symptoms of illness (fussiness, pain, vomit, diareah, rash, etc).
