Micah
 

Micah woke up Sunday with a 102.6 fever, called the doctor's told me cool baths tylenol and motrin every 4 hours, if it continues to bring him in today, he is home with Grandma today still sleeping, but felt warm again this morning. so it looks like i will be taking him today after work. I'm calling Gram around lunch time to see what his temp. is .. so keep Micah in your thoughts.

Will do, Haley!!! Hope all is better when you get home today!!!

I hope your right, my MIL thinks its his two year old molars coming in.. I hope she is right about this.. I just hope its not something with his ears :(

Oh Haley...you've been though so much lately with Micah. Keeping the little guy in my prayers that it's just the molars coming in. I think those can be about as painful as the ears.

Thanks Janet, every week i'm taking him to the doctors it seems :(, i just called my MIL, she said he took his medicine, but he's not letting her take his temp, she told me to call back in about an hour she'll try again, he's drinking some juice and eating dry cereal.. so thats good, she said he still feels warm. so i'm going to wait awhile before i call the doctors to see what his temp is.
im on the phone now getting directions to pgh childrens for his heart test wednesday afternoon..

I called my MIL back again, she said Micah is doing fine, the little stinker still will not let her take his temp. she said he still feels alittle warm but is playing nice, taking medicine ( shot the kid gives it to himself when you fill up the siringe), so hopefully the fever is gone, i'll take his temp when i get home. she was getting ready to give him a nice cool bath,, so cross your fingers!
These fevers just come on so fast, he was ok all weekend except for Sunday morning he just woke up all miserable.. Maybe it is his teeth i really just don't know.. Maybe his ears??
Do you think i should call the ENT back??????

Haley, I'm so sorry that Micah's running a fever. It could be his teeth. Some kids just have a harder time with their teeth than others have. Hopefully, his temperature will be down and it will be better by the time you get home from work. I'm saying a prayer for Micah.

I hope Micah is feeling better real soon!

He was still warm when i went home last night but eatting and drinking good, he's in daycare today, gave him some motrin this morning, told them to give him tylenol every 4 hours and if his temp goes back up to call me. He has his heart test tom. so i'm not going to be at work again. I'm missing so many days :(.. but hopefully this will be his last doctor's apt for a while, he has a follow-up for his ear tubes early August. then we should be ok.. Thanks everyone for your prayers - hopefully Micah is on the road to a recovery!

You were asking about calling the ENT about the fever. If it persists, it wouldn't hurt to call. You can explain that you think it could be teething, but at least you let them know, in case, they do need to see him to check it out. Just my thoughts.

Thanks Marilyn, i was just confussed, didn't know who to call his peditrician or the ENT, i did call the peditrician and that's what he said if it persist to bring him in, but he looked fine this morning, he wanted to go to school so that was a good sign, still a little warm, they said they will call me if his fever goes back up. so hopefully i'm not getting any calls today, but if i do, i will take to the doctors today.

How is our little boy today? Poor little Micah....he has been sick for quite some time.

I'm sending prayers that this is all over, and that he will remain healthy.

Judy, that test was terrible!! they sedated him, we will get the test results back sometime next week.

Was the test the echo cardiogram? If so, the patient must lie very still or the results are not valid. I don't work in pediatrics, but I can see that they might need to sedate a little one for the test. I'm sorry he has to go through this, hopefully, you will find out that everything is A-OK!

My hubby has to get an echo cardiogram every 3-4 months. He has to lay on his side for 15-20 minutes. It's not comfortable at all!

yes that was the test, they shot this liquid up his nose! NOT once but TWICE! i was just freaking out... he was screaming!
