Alright friends...need some prayers. Little boy has been running very high fevers for over 24 hours. Meds bring it down for a few hours but it crosses 104.5 before we can administer new dose. Doctor thinks its viral and to let his body fight. But I am starting to get worried.

I will be taking him back to the doctor in a few hours.

Thanks everyone once again.

For the prayers, I am sure they are being heard.

For the advice, I am following what I can and what my doctor approves.

For the kind words, its a good feeling after what this forum has been through the last few weeks.

I would love to personally reply to everyone, but I would rather spend that time with him than at the computer. And I can only type so much on the phone. Though I am trying to stay connected and not die out of boredom when he is watching his movies.😆 There is only so much Penguins of Madagascar and Ice Age mommy can take. Yeah sick time in the house means the TV rules and everything goes out the window.

He is playful, but since the last few hours, his activity level has gone down. We are trying to hydrate him, but he is a strong willed 2 year old and its really hard to make him do anything, including getting him to drink his favorite juice. So my guess is we are heading towards dehydration and weakness since his appetite has been quite low too.

Days are easier since we are able to constantly monitor him, but I worry about the night. That is when his fever peaks since we monitor every few hours hoping to get him to rest without disturbance. Even meds get spaced out so that he can sleep more. Tonight, we plan to take turns so that we can monitor him better.

I wanted to give you a long update so I grabbed the laptop as soon as I got some time.

Thanks a lot
