Connor update: Spent 6 1/2 hours at the ER last night, had his bloodwork done and they didn't find anything abnormal.

Posted by Stephen (aka SCeire) Dec 3 '09, 12:31

Gave him a dose of Tylenol then a dose of Motrin, and had to force him to take liquids, which wasn't easy since all he wanted to do was sleep. We had to use a little syringe thingy to get him to drink.

So basically they have no idea why he spiked such a high fever. They told us to keep an eye on his temp, give him extra fluids, and if his temp goes higher than 102 to bring him in again.

He's been sleeping all morning, and he's hovering at about 101, so yeah, i'm taking his temp every half hour just to be safe.

Responses:

I understand the desire to take a temp that often, but I'd be careful with it. Maybe if you get two 102's in a row. - TFox Dec 3, 12:33 1

glad he's doing better. Just hope you never have to give him a nebulizer. That *sucks*. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 12:33 1
