Today was a hard day. We got up and the agenda today was for me to go the NC DMV and take my drivers test. Yea!!!! I passed and I am now registered to vote in Wake Forest, here, donate organs, and drive. But when we got home, we noticed that Noah felt HOT!!!! So as we are about to cook lunch we casually took his temp. He was not acting sick, just ready for lunch and a nap. Well the pacifier thermometer kept going up and up. It got to 102.9 and we gave him Tylenol. Then after 3 more 15 min increments it was up to 104.6. SCARY stuff. This happened to me a handful of times as a baby and child, same thing no symptoms just high fever. But when it happens to your own child you try not to panic. After a little while it gradually started coming down and settled around 101.
We went into the Dr. anyway. They pricked both his feet to get a blood test, he had a flu test, and nose, ears, abdomen checked for rashes. All normal. The only thing that indicated anything was his white blood cell count was a 4 (normal is 5-15). So his little body must be fighting something. Probably Viral. Nevertheless we spoiled him the rest of the day, taking his temp, hydrating him, and snuggling. I loved the snuggling part. Not that my little bear was sick. All this did not keep his spirit down. He was just as excited to talk on the phone to anyone we called. In this case Grana.
