103.4
It's the kind of thing where you keep calm on the outside but you kind of lose your shit a little on the inside.
Gus is on the couch with me, lounging in his diaper. He went to bed around eight, but when I went up to check on him at ten, he was steaming up, so I got him up to give him Motrin. The poor kid has had a fever off and on since early Sunday. I thought this was associated with his croup from last week (he's had a doozy of a two weeks), but seems to be something else.
The 30 minutes to an hour after giving Motrin are the most stressful. Will the medicine work? What will we do if it doesn't?
This time, it did. Gotta put him back in bed because he's laughing now and it's 11:03pm.
What a huge difference an hour makes.
