Fever

Low grade fevers I can handle. Let 'em burn out whatever the body is trying to burn out. But high fevers freak me out.

Last night Kai woke up screaming nonsense and shaking violently. He was burning up. His entire body was shaking and it really scared me. I guess I'm still not over all his incidents... his tiny shaking body made me kick into mama overdrive mode.

Peter got me the ibuprofen (he is allergic to Tylenol just as an fyi in case grandparents have him) and we put cold compresses on his forehead. He stopped shaking and became coherent. Just loved on him for hours.

Today he's better. Kept him home from school just in case though. He's happily playing cars. Phew...
