Fever Me a Vacation

The title pretty much sums it up. We went to see Owl's Head Light on Friday morning and after we got home Bug just started crying in the car. I laid down with him on the couch and could feel him getting warmer and warmer. We both dozed off a bit and I have to say it was amazing dozing off with a great ocean view. When we woke up he was burning up and had a fever. We gave him Motrin and later that day when he woke up from his nap his fever was 104.3. Nice! So we called the ped's office that we saw in Rockland earlier that week and they saw us immediately. Shocker, no other symptoms but the fever. The doc was great though, said to give him a call anytime, day or night, if we needed anything. We alternated Tylenol and Motrin through the night and he woke up fever free the next morning. We have an idea that this is similar to last year when he got high fevers every 6 weeks or so which seemed to go away a few months after Baxter moving out. We're going to follow-up with his ped this week. For as bad as he was feeling, he did really well on the trip home!
