Exhausted.

So that is the way I feel this morning, or afternoon I guess. I slept in. So for anyone who wants the details, and also to journal this new "first" last night was the first time one of my children had a fever of 105 degrees. I have never actually seen one that high, and he was HOT! Poor little baby! It made me so freaked out. So Ronan has had a fever since Thursday morning, ranging from 100.3-104.3 We were at the doc on Thursday and they said he had an ear infection, but to wait it out, saying that they find it does better to try and let them heal on their own. But- to do the medicine if he still had a low fever in 48 hours. So giving him Tylenol for the next day or so, it really never went down-only UP! What is that about, I thought it was supposed to get better with Tylenol! So at this point, he is like between 102-103, and we called the doctor. They said even though it hadn't been 48 hours yet to go ahead and do the amoxicilan (sp?) and use Motrin as well to control the fever. This all occured right as we were about to head out for our date night, we had been assuming that he would probably be ok, because we knew why he had a fever and he was just sleeping through it. So in the car we stop at Walgreens to pick up the meds, and I got him out and held him in the front seat while we tried to give it to him. Well-that didn't go well, and he immediately threw up ALL OVER me, dad, and the car. Poor little guy, he looked so miserable. Well, that did it for my cute date outfit, and we called karin to cancel. We got him home, and snuggled him up, re-gave him medicine and put him to bed. So that night wasn't great, he was up about every two hours, and we checked his temp, and gave him more motrin when we could. We thought though that it would all be getting better by the morning though hopefully so we were ok. So all day yesterday, he's now on his amoxicilin, and his fever was still high- not sure what is going on here. We kept giving him motrin, etc. and just kept taking care of him. I'm getting concerned at this point, his fever seemed to be lasting forever! Is this normal? I've never had to deal with it taking so long... so we put him to bed, and then the fun began. Newborn all over again, he only slept for between 20 and 45 minutes the whole night. We tried everything we could think of, and kept checking his temp. It was staying at around 102 till about 2:30am, then it jumped to 103, I gave him Motrin, and tried to put him back down. He wasn't having any of that, so at 3:00 I picked him up again, he was BOILING!!! I freaked out checked his temp, and it said 105.2!!! We immediately called the on call pediatrician, and they told us to give him a lukewarm shower for 10 minutes, and it needed to be back down to under 102 or go to the ER. We did this immediately, and it finally seemed to work. He was back down to around 100, but couldn't really sleep still, and I kept checking just to make sure it didn't get too high again. It is still around 100, but didn't jump much more so far. He finally fell asleep at about 8:30am until 11 or so. He seems happier today, and I'm hoping the worst is over. He has seemed miserable.:( I'm curious though-should he still have a fever? It has been over three days straight. I'm going to call the pediatrician here soon to see if they think something else is wrong...so that's the story, we'll let you know how it goes..
