First Fever

Gabe was making unusual little grunty and grumbly noises as he slept this evening from around 10-11pm. When he woke up mommy at midnight he felt warm and sure enough his axillary temperature was 100.6. This is high enough to prompt a call to the doctor who said so long as he was consolable and alert that we should give him Tylenol and keep an eye on him until the morning. Since we can still get him to smile he'll be going in for a visit in the morning to check for ear infection and such so we know what is causing the fever.

I'm feeling a little under the weather myself and the only thing that could be worse than watching your child be sick is being sick while their sick! Allergies, definitely allergies on my part.

Update from Mom: Gabe just has a cold. :) He is holding up remarkably well, still smiling and playing, even though he is a bit conjested and tired.

Gabe's "I'm not feeling well" cry is so sad! But with some tylenal and a warm booby perk him right up.

I'm glad he's feeling better. Being sick at any age sucks. See you next week!

Thanks Dori! We're in Virginia right now. Gabe is feeling much better.
