"You've been lucky," That's what Dr.Eisenburg told us last week at Owen's 15 month appointment. In Owen's nearly 16 months of life he has only been sick twice, and both those times were mild colds that barely lasted three days. He's never had a fever.
Saturday night Owen went to bed around 8:30 and he typically wakes up once or twice in the middle of the night. We didn't hear a peep from him until 8am the next morning. Of course, being the paranoid mother I am, I got up a couple times to make sure he was still breathing.
As soon as I picked him up out of his crib Sunday morning, I knew he had a fever. I could feel him burning up underneath his fuzzy, footed pajamas and his lips were all chapped and dry. Sure enough, he had a fever of 100.5.
So Owen officially has his first fever and what I hope is just a virus that he will fight off in the next couple days. For now it's tylenol and lots of love from Mama.
Thanks Dr.Eisenburg.
