My girl has been fighting a bug all weekend.  Saturday morning she was a little extra clingy but we proceeded as normal.  We then went on to the pool and after nap time with a temp check I discovered my girl had her first high fever at 102.5.  We’ve had low grade fevers and she has had a few colds and some teething issues but this is the most severe.  And it has me shaking.

At 10pm last night before I went to sleep I felt the pull to check on her.  She was so warm.  Took her temp and it was approaching 104.  As I was taking her temp I said – as long as its below 103 I won’t freak out.  So 104 happened and I freaked.  We did a tepid bath.  Called the doctors office and when the doctor called I called him his last name.  No “Dr.LastName” No FirstName.  I said his last name.  Like I would say to a player across the court when they make a bad play.   I then proceeded to tell him in 30 seconds the events and temperature range over the last 12 hours to which I ended the monologue with “When is it I should start to freak out – because, I’m starting to freak the hell out.” and he said that I should never freak out….I laughed.  Never.  Never freak out?  Really?  Did he start passing out Valum and not let me know?

Anyway.  She’s still not feeling great – she’s been clingy and snuggly and without a great appetite but overall pretty happy go lucky.  The thing is this: There is very little in this world worse then your baby not feeling well.
