Fever

   My poor baby Kaden developed a mild fever last night, 100.5.  He was a little bit fussy so I gave him some Tylenol, fed him and put him to bed.  This morning he woke up with a fever of 101.9.  I gave him some more Tylenol and called the nurse hot line at his Dr's office.  They told me to watch him today and as long as he is eating, peeing and responding to me normally he would be fine, but to call again if his fever is still 101.5 tomorrow.  So that is what I am doing. 

   I wouldn't say that he is responding 'normally', but he knows that I am there and looks for me, so I am pretty sure that is what they were talking about.  In the top picture you can see the lethargic look on his face that I have been seeing all day.  I have gotten maybe a half dozen smiles out of him and that is not like Kaden.  Below you can see his stance of the day.  He isn't kicking, he isn't trying to roll over, he doesn't want to play or grab things, he just wants to lay still.  If you have ever held Kaden or spent any time around him, you would know that this is definitely a little boy who doesn't feel well.  Still is not in his normal vocabulary... oh wait... he doesn't have vocabulary yet.

   The plus side?  All he wants to do is be held and snuggled.  Mommy is very happy to hold him close and rock him.  I just wish he wasn't burning up in the process.  The Tylenol doesn't seem to help much.  So if you have some time today, would you say a little prayer for Kaden?
