Sudden High Fever

Today daycare called me at 2:30pm, reporting Noah hasn't been himself since morning. unusually quiet and listless. Running a fever of 100.6F after waking up from nap and looking miserable.

I picked him up at 3 and went home.  I gave him some acetaminophen (5ml). unlike  a few months ago, he didn't fight but took it in three go.  The fever receded by  5pm. He had some cocktail grapefruit (half), half a cup of milk. He seemed to regained his spirit. walked around and played for about an hour. The fever returned around 6:30pm. 101.5F.

He fell asleep around 7:30, by then he was really heating up, flashed cheek like what daycare teacher said he was after waking up from nap. this time it was 103F. He woke up crying. We gave him some ibuprofen around 8:30pm. Fever broke around 9:30pm.

It is 10:40pm now, he is asleep, the fever seems to be making another attempt at returning.  but not as bad as before.

poor little guy. He really looked sick.  Strangely his cough and running nose aren't exactly bad, even less severe than the last couple of weeks.  I suppose tomorrow those symptom will come back. Hopefully fever wont. fingers crossed.

4/18/2012 Update: fever came back, went as high as 102.7, then slowly backed down. Noah woke up around midnight and then 4am, insisting on going to the living room to watch some animation. His temperature dropped to lowest at 4am (98.9)  but came back by morning. between midnight and 4am, he broke in lots of sweat, but still burning cheeks. crying for a while. poor baby.

had a couple of bites of porridge in the morning.

got him an 9am appointment at kaiser. Now waiting for Mi's update. I"m on my way to work (on shuttle). pins and needles. hope it is nothing too bad.

it is by far the worst fever he has ever gotten in his 22 month.

he is a strong baby, he should be able to pull through this.

Apparently doctor sent Noah home without any prescription drugs.  No ear infection and lung sounds very clear. She suspects it is just a sudden virus infection. Advised Mi to continue feed Noah Tylenol and Ibuprufen. return to the hospital if his fever lasts 3 days.

Temperature 101F in the hospital, nurse fed him Tylenol. His spirit largely recovered once got home. Seems like Tylenol is working.

感冒×成长×复活节检蛋

二月初上吐下泻之后，整整两个月没有再生病。成了上幼儿园以来的黄金时段。每天都兴致勃勃，笑眯眯的去学校。老师们一致赞叹他的精力旺盛。
上个礼拜终于又病了。周五早上还发低烧。就留在家里过了个长周末。好些了。

周末还有个进步，有了帮忙的意愿和行动。

先是出门时坐在车后座，爸爸给他用纸巾擦鼻涕。他接过去，比划着自己擦。虽然都擦到手上没用到纸巾。至少表明知道纸巾是干这个用的。晚上回家抢了爸爸的不锈钢水瓶捧着喝水。还剩一些水的时候不知道为什么突然把水瓶丢在地毯上。妈妈做生气状问他为什么？把地毯都弄湿了吧？！他似乎也被自己的失手惊呆了。有些委屈的听妈妈的严厉问话。接下来却没有如往日一样嘴一扁就哭，反而做了一件大出我们意料的事。他蹲下去，拿了旁边一块纸巾，用力的擦起湿了的地毯来！！后来他自己站在地毯上看电影，似乎感觉到脚湿了（赤脚），先把稍微过长踩在脚下的裤腿提起来，然后又拿了纸巾擦裤子！

周末在院子里，看到我在浇花，忙不迭要求他也浇。用了小罐子从水桶里乘水，然后倒到花盆里。当然稀里哗啦撒了一地，只有很少量的水进了花盆。饶是如此，耐不住他一次次非常耐心坚持的往返，眼见着我可怜的花要给淹死了。忙指导他去浇院子里种在地下的花。这样泼泼洒洒反正都是土里进水，而且外面的花不怕淹。由着他的性子，过足了瘾作罢。

周日去了Dolores公园复活节检蛋活动。
