Quinn has had a fever. Monday night it was around 101. Last night it got up to 103.7! He was SO hot. Poor kid. He couldn't sleep, kept tossing and turning. At 3:30 I finally just got up and walked around with him until he fell asleep (an hour) ... then I tried to lay him down ... it was a no go. So I just sat up in bed with a pillow behind my head so he could sleep. It wasn't comfortable.
This morning I called the dr. and took him in. He does not have an ear infection, which I thought was most likely. He did, however, have a really red throat. The dr. swabbed it and came back in and said it was negative for a bacterial infection ... so it's some sort of virus. There's nothing to do about it but try to keep him comfortable. (too bad I wasted a $30 copay to hear nothing) On the bright side, no prescription to buy.
I guess I'll just be having a couple days of holding him constantly. It seems to be the only way he won't cry. (I'll get a lot of reading done! shhh ... don't tell.)
Hopefully he feels better quickly. Sick babies make me sad.

Sorry Quinn is sick! I hope he gets better quickly. That's the good thing about viruses- often they clear up in 24 to 48 hours.(at least the worst of it) In the meantime, hang in there, and find some good movies to watch. :-)
Sorry! I hope he gets better quickly!
Oh- I hope he is feeling better.
