A couple of weeks ago Tim ran a high fever for two days. We took him into the

doc on the third day after having it go up and down. He developed a skin

infection and ended up on cloxicillan. The doc figures his immune system was

down somewhat. There was no ear infection. He complained about his legs aching

but they seemed fine. We get another test for thyroid in July.

IMPORTANT-HIGH FEVER BUT WHY?

hey its me AGAIN!

Here goes. Ben had a very high fever sunday of 104. No other symptoms at

the time and fever went away with tylenol. kept him from from school

yesterday and he seemed fine. No fever or anything all day. Then about 5:00

last night, he seemed hot again, took his temp. Back up to 102. What is up

with this? Now he is complaining of pain in his upper left rib area. I

almost took him to er last night but he was able go right back to sleep. He

had fever all night tho i dont know how much. he is resting now but what the

hell is going here? Anyone with any ideas? I am taking him in (hopefully)

to the doc today or er if it gets bad.

He has no other symptoms other than the fever that comes and goes and the

pain. we just went back to the oncologist/blood expert last wed, they took

blood and everything looked great. everything was in the normal range. now

this! the doc did say to call him if ben seems be tired, lethargic etc

because as we all know, kids with ds are more prone to leukemia.

i looked up endocarditis on the web and it mentions a low grade fever but not

much else. dont think its append. because of the area (houdini thought that

too lol) and the pain comes and goes. doesnt really seem to get worse.

oh well, just another day in the life, huh guys?

Any ideas, comments?

Hi Kerrie

Sara rarely runs fever during the day, the DR told me fever spikes after 4pm

and this is what Sara does.

The pain in his ribs, could it be really his lungs? oooh also Sara's DR said

if she's running fever for 3 days make an appt, if not its probably viral and

will run its course.

Kathy mom to Sara 10.............hey we're you talking about Darren,

Carolyn's son? if so will you tell her to email me, haven't talked to her in

ages and I know she left this list heehee tell her TN buddy needs some

updates lolol (I don't have her current email addy)

Last week I took my 14 month and 20 month old in for what I thought was pink

eye. The 14 month old had had a cold and slight fever all week. The 20

month old had been fine. When we got to the Ped, the 14 month old had double

ear infections and the 20 month old had a temp of 103, but clear ears. He

said she had a virus and it would get worse before it got better. It DID.

She was miserable for the next 3 days......the fever would break if I kept

her on the tylenol/motrin routine every 2 hours....and was worse in the am

and in the pm. Yesterday she woke up fever free and has remained so. No

other symptoms appeared.

However, my 8 month old, on Easter, had a temp of 101 (caused by ear

infections)... and had a seizure. Fever's make me very nervous now!

A child that I care for in my home didn't come over for a week. He had only

a high fever and no other symptoms. He had this for over a week. The mom

said that another friend had this also.

We can relate to 20mos. and 8mos....and 4 others and

who knows what may be coming in next.lol...We are

actually wanting to adopt 2 more, so who knows:-) We

are foster and adopt here...Our 8mos. old and 20mos

old are by adoption and the other 4 by birth...Life is

great...until they're sick. I do feel for you. All

last week was Drs. appts. 4 kids sick at once, both

babies, and then 2 different bugs going around. That

is true chaos. I do understand and my thoughts are

with you:-) Take care and God Bless,

Joy-mom to ,

8mos old, DS, TOF,...and 5 other wonderful kiddo's.
