First fever

We thought Aaron was okay after the dr's visit on Thursday even though Dr. Ahmann told us to watch for a fever as Aaron seems to have a mild cold.  He was okay for the weekend until a little fussy while eating on Sat.  We didn't think too much about it until he woke up fussy again on Sunday morning.  Aaron didn't want to eat much and shivering a little. We quickly checked his temperature and apparently he was getting pretty warm (around 99 degrees the first time we checked), then his temperature started to rise very quickly (99, 100, 100.6, 101.4, 102...). I was starting to get worried and gave him some tylenol before even calling the doctor.  Luckily Dr. Ahmann was on call (on a Sunday!) and we were told that we can bring Aaron in.

We took Aaron to the dr. and were told to keep an eye on him as his fever might last 24-48 hours. This is the first time Aaron has a real fever, not counting the ones after getting vaccination. It's quite scary that we don't know how fussy he will be or what might happen. I am such a worrywart that every little thing about my munchkin can scare me to death. I pray to God that Aaron will recover in no time.
