But I'm with you, give me a cough, or an eartug, or even some good ol' vomit with my little one's fever. I also don't medicate unless it's over 101, or if it's keeping him so fussy he can't get good rest.Sophienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-65375547736614756862010-02-11T18:02:18.539-08:002010-02-11T18:02:18.539-08:00Poor little guy.

Like all things with sleep and Will, I imagine this phase is only temporary and I will shortly be back to the 6 AM wake ups he was so famous for until recently. He startes sleeping in more when he dropped his morning nap and just has an afternoon nap now. And the later he sleeps in, the shorter that afternoon nap is, so it's all a trade off in terms of total amounts of sleep. But yeah, I am loving every second of the later wake ups.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961948894847619115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-15523530851439860272010-02-11T14:22:23.184-08:002010-02-11T14:22:23.184-08:00Ohio Nurse, you are right that fever is a good thi...Ohio Nurse, you are right that fever is a good thing, but our ped has always advised us to treat a fever that goes higher than 102 with Will, since he does have a tendency to spike higher fevers and she doesn't want to risk febrile seizures. So, we it goes above 102, that's exactly what I do! But thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it and agree with you, which is why I don't treat fevers less than 102 and didn't call the ped yesterday!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961948894847619115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-235936163772184752010-02-11T13:05:19.505-08:002010-02-11T13:05:19.505-08:00Sorry, I stopped reading when I got to the part th...Sorry, I stopped reading when I got to the part that he usually sleeps till at least 8!!

If you...100 to 101 is acceptable in a young child. If you can keep it in that range or lower I wouldn't bother with the ped at this point. If you give Tylenol or Motrin it stops the body's natural infection-immune response of fever. Fever is a good thing - it heats the body up hot enough that bacteria are killed off. Though if it stays at 103 or higher with or without symptoms take him in.Ohio Nursenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-5398066335946821382010-02-11T12:02:56.270-08:002010-02-11T12:02:56.270-08:00But if something is wrong, you can fix it, unlike ...But if something is wrong, you can fix it, unlike if you just think that SOMETHING must be wrong. <br /><br />I hope that he feels better soon.HereWeGoAJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457680345376171720noreply@blogger.com
