First Fever

Our boy made it to 18 months old (well, Sunday) before getting his first fever, tonight - 101.5. He's a miserable little fella. We all went to the after-hours clinic this evening, where they tested for strep and thankfully it was negative. He does have another crappy cold, though - his second in three weeks. We're maxing out on the Motrin and Tylenol. There was NO sleep for any of the Burbanks last night (pitiful whimpering all night long) so we are hoping for better times tonight. After recalling a couple of majorly runny-nosed kids at Wednesday's playdate and finding this cold's timing to be all-too-coincidental, we're rethinking the whole playdate thing.... time to buy a bubble.

... and get that bubble in extra, extra large because that desire to protect from nasty germs does not go away as they grow. :) Take care.

Yeah, Ben didn't get sick until he started being around other kids (daycare). It seems like he's been sick ever since.

I hope Andrew feels better soon!

Please do not move into a bubble!!! Reed got his first fever at 15 months. It started after we attended a few playdates. He hasn't been sick since though. Just allergy related. Hope you get some sleep and he starts feeling better.

disclaimer:it would be nice if moms kept their sick kiddos at home!! just a disclaimer!!
