Alum Rock Park is still there. A lot of families still go there for

picnics. When I was a kid we went there all the time. It is

beautiful. they have a wild animal refuge there now too.

he is 13 and has been going on sense birth. he could be anywhere. school

movies swim meets his body just shuts down at 103 strange. in the store once i

was looking at something turned around and he is out in the basket. not at

one or two this was 12 years. it's funny but he doesn't even say anything.

that's one thing they watch for at school. not to yell at him for falling

asleep but to call me . it a tuff road and you have to stay on top of

everything

every minute things change so fast ... take care char

Yes, he does. He holds his back sometimes like an old man. The specialist

says it like temporary arthritis. The joints are swollen when they are sick.

That is one of the reasons that we took him out of PE at school. His attacks

are so often and the pounding he gets everyday in PE just kills his body.

It all depends on how his life is going but it could be from one week to

every other week. Sense last July 23 he was at dr. 104 he got his pred. on Aug

3

103.8 I just gave him the mortrin. Aug 10 103.4 I gave him the pred. Aug 17

102.8 I gave him the mortrin . and today Aug. 23 . We are off to dr. today.

His normal temp is between 93 and 97 daily. If in-between we do something

that is exciting to him like Disneyland or shopping at the mall his temp will

rise into the hundreds ... so he has a few well days a month ...

When he is fevering does he get joint achiness? The little girl I take

care of walks like she is 90 years old when she is fevering, poor kid.

She also has trouble getting up from sitting on the floor. I can see

why, when people are trying to figure out what is wrong when they don't

know about , they think it might be related to arthritis. Before

we had a diagnosis we thought she might have childhood arthritis. Does

he get symptoms like that during his fever?

He has been fevering since birth? Wow - can I ask how often he fevers...

It is kind of amazing that he goes out at 103 degrees. I guess it does

give his teacher a sure sign.

Hope he is better quickly

My little guy Dean, almost 3 years old, kind of passes out too. As I

have said before, I have a good indication of when he's hitting that

point, he gets glassy eyed, pale, and dark circles under the eyes. He's

pretty fair to begin with, but man, he's milk bottle white when he

starts a fever. He just falls asleep wherever he is. In the car,

playing with toys on the floor, in the stroller (which is few and far

between now), at the dinner table at the Outback Steakhouse one time.

That was before I could read the warning signs of a fever coming on and

it snuck up on me in the restaurant. I don't know how high the fever is

though, I have pretty much given up on trying to take his temperature,

when he's hot he's hot. And a rectal temp on a kid is quite unnerving

for both of us. He is hot to the touch, and even in the dead of winter,

when my feet are freezing, his are hot as can be and bright red. That's

when the Motrin/Tylenol cocktails begin.

Have your tried an ear thermomether? They aren't too expensive

anymore. I also saw in an Avon catalog and in a magazine one that is

digital like the ear thermometer but you place the top of it on their

forehead and it gives you a reading. that one should be very easy to

use without upsetting the child.

Dean is my energizer bunny. He keeps going and going. I have to force

him to take naps and go to bed, although at daycare, he takes a nap

without a fuss. Must be a way of showing me he thinks he's the boss!

Lol. I guess that makes sense. I know when I am sick, which is rare

these days, as a single mom, I am not allowed to get sick...I know I

want to take a snooze whenever, wherever.

True, I never really thought of it because my ped's office said they

were so much less accurate. Like I said, hot is hot, and when he's

heading there, now I get the warning signals, so I have decided that the

torture of the rectal for all involved is a poor choice. But I will

certainly look into the ear things and the forehead one too. Thanks for

the advice!
