Nicholas' fever has been lower today than the past few days, but still something of a fever and was craaaaaanky (so much so that I mentally wrote a post earlier today entitled "Meltdowns,") so I took him to the doctor as planned. The doctor couldn't find anything wrong and concluded it must be a virus of some sort.
The good news is that he doesn't have an ear infection. The bad news is that there is nothing we can do to make him better.
By late this afternoon he felt basically normal temp to me (with no Tylenol since 7am) and was acting delightfully cheery, so I was beginning to have hope that he was on the mend. But when I went to put him down for a nap a few minutes ago he was starting to feel pretty warm again, so it looks like we're not out of the woods yet.
It looks like I may not get to go into the library again tomorrow afterall. I'm also beginning to worry that if this drags on much longer we may have to rethink some of the travelling that we have coming up, and I really don't want to do that. But exposing people with weak immune systems and those who are trapped on an airplane with us to an unidentified random virus is just not cool. Not to mention that travelling with a sick baby would not be particularly enjoyable for any of us.
Please get better, buddy. I know it is worse for you than it is for me, but I for one am ready to move on.
Oy - that stinks in all sorts of ways. Hope today has brought better news.
