Last week, I had to take Nathan for his second sick visit to the pediatrician in his entire life. He was sick once with a fever when he was 4 months old and has been pretty healthy otherwise. Until last week. He randomly spiked a fever of almost 104 one night and when it didn't break at all the entire night, we went to the doctor the following morning. Despite the high fever, no one would really even be able to guess he was sick. The doctor was pretty amazed at how much he was still playing and smiling. She said his throat was pretty red, but both strep and flu tests came back negative. She sent us home with orders rest and fluids. Trying to get a rambunctious toddler to actually rest is pretty much an impossible task, but after 3 days of the fever, it finally broke. Lots of cuddling, cool compresses, and Tylenol seemed to do the trick, and he is definitely back to his crazy self now.
On a happier note, Nathan is 17 months old today!!!!!
