One Week Fever

Well about 30 minutes after we got home from the MBF fishing tournament, Kade decided to get sick. He basically screamed the rest of the night. He was warm so I put a cool wash cloth on his head and he got to play "victim" for the camera.
I dropped him off at daycare on Monday and Chad got a call that morning that Kade had a temp of 102.7. Holy Cow!! Chad raced off to take him to the hospital (that's what us new parents do again and again and again) only to find that his temp was 100.6 and he chewed on his chicken toy and laughed at the Dr. Which the Dr. basically laughed Chad out of his office. Well now in daycare land in Fargo, once your little guy has a fever he can't come back for 24 hours (but you still have to pay for that day...ggrrr)...so Chad stayed home with him on Tuesday (all day while Kade screamed and was naughty). Way to go Kade, he's trying to ruin his chances for a sibling!!!
Tuesday night he broke into another fever of 102.6 but it cooled down by morning. He actually slept w/us that night and he just wouldn't settle down. So I went to move him a bit in the bed and he was "on fire". I had to take his sleepy pants off and put another wash rag on his head and let him sleep in his diaper. I also gave him some Tylenol which helped a lot.
So Wednesday I took Kade back to daycare and here I get a call again that he has a 102. something temp. Well now this has been 3 days of fevers this high, it has to be life threating doesn't it??? New mommy heads back to the hospital only to find out his temp is down to 99 and he is giggling for the Dr. again.
Now again he can't go to the daycare on Thursday. So daddy takes off the day so mommy can finish month end at work. Those two had their boxing gloves on by the time I got home. Kade was half sick/half bored and Chad was itching to get out of dirty diaper duty and messy cereal fights. Chad literally worked 1-1/2 days last week, due to this mysterious fever that just stayed around long enough for Kade to get out of daycare. HHhhhmmm??
Mommy, would I lie to you?
