sure seems like if it's not one kid that's sick, it's the other. yesterday caleb started an ugly cough after having some runny nose that i figured was just due to allergies and from the yucky vog and weather. last night/this morning his cough was really bad, to the point where it seemed like he couldn't breathe well because of the coughing spasms. he had a slight fever so we decided to take him to the dr since they're open and it's not a school day. dr said that it was most likely just a cold and that we would just have to ride it out. as the afternoon wore on his fever started to get higher. at around 5 when he got up from a nap coughing, he was super hot even though i had given him some fever reducer at 4 before he went to sleep. took his temp and it was 103.8...which freaked me out. his whole body was super hot so i decided to put him in a warm shower to try to bring it down. in the meantime i had dave call the dr to ask him what we should do. thankfully after the shower his fever came down to about 101 and dr called and said that his fever might go up to even 104. i asked him when i should get really worried and he said if it goes up to 105, take him to kapiolani's e.r. gosh. 105??? that's crazy high!
right now he's sleeping on the couch...before he went to sleep he was whining and wanted me to lie down by him...so i did and i was touching his face and that really pissed him off...he told me not to touch his face but just lie down next to him...lol.
i guess i better prepare myself for a rough night...poor baby...he can't clear the phlegm so he's just miserable when he starts a coughing fit and there's nothing i can really do. sucks...praying that brynna doesn't get it but with the amount of non-covered-mouth coughing this boy was doing, i'm thinking she'll end up sick too. gosh.
