We have to meet the Ped. at their office when it opens at 8 a.m. Daughter just talked with her on the phone just now.

He had tylenol an hour ago and it only dropped it 2/10's of a degree down to 102.4. They said we (due to his weight now) could give him .02 more of the tylenol. We did, so we'll see.

Dr. said with a fever like that he's going to be weak and lethargic when daughter told her of her concerns there...especially considering he's only 3 months. She said if his cough gets worse like he's having more trouble with airway to get to ER.

Even though we're offering him a couple of ounces of formula every couple of hours, he's not always taking much of it and in five hours had a barely wet diaper, so there's real concern with this fever continuing.

I just finished my watch with him...daughter HAD to sleep some. She's sick as a danged dog with it too, and she's going to have to do alot tomorrow with dr's, etc., while I deal with little man and help too. I think I'm going to have her go back to sleep though because she's got to have it, and I can nap tomorrow. I know I won't be able to sleep anyhow.

Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers and I'll let you know what Ped says.

Love,

KD
