On Wednesday afternoon, my21 month dcg was really lethargic after her nap. She had a good snack, but when we went outside to play, she got on the porch and leaned against me-no playing at all. When we came inside after about 20 minutes, and she got a book and got in my lap. We sat and rocked for about 45 minutes. (She was my only child that day). She felt a bit warm but after awhile, she was warm enough that I got out the ear thermometer. It was 100.8. I took it several times over the next half hour, and it remained in that same general range.
This baby has a history of spiking fevers in a hurry, and she's had RSV/pneumonia twice in the last 3 months, so I called her mom. It was just an hour before pick up, so I wasn't asking her to pick up, I just wanted her to know something was up. She decided to have her boyfriend pick up immediately and she took off work and went home.
I closed Thurs/Fri because of my husband's surgery, but I called to check on her from the hospital. She said that when she got home, dcg was running around playing. She said she felt a bit warm, but there was no fever.
She was suppose to be back today, but I got a text late last night to say she wouldn't be here today. Wonder if I just lost a kid? :confused: I'm glad she's ok, but I sure don't want to lose her. I still don't think I over-reacted. Twice she's left here with a slight fever and been in the ER within 3 hours. I saved the settings on the thermometer to show mom so she doesn't think I made it up.
