Fever - Day Two

Well, today has been more of the same, temperature up, temperature down. It peaked at 38.3 this morning when we took George to the access clinic and saw Dr Davey. He was very kind and very sweet and checked him over thoroughly, but apart from the fever he had no other symptoms and all we are to do is keep doing what we are doing. He said that the fever might develop into something over the next 48 hours, or it may not and it might just disappear as it came, overnight. All we can do is wait and treat him with the alternating calpol and calprofen every 3 hours. One thing I have been slightly reassured by in my pit of worry (I live in the pit of worry - it is like an oubliette of first time motherhood) is that he has continued to eat and drink.

 This morning with a little smile

I made goulash and granary bread for tea...which George really seemed to enjoy - particularly the bread dipped into the sauce - and he happily sucked and gummed at the soggy bread and covered himself and his high chair in lots of it.

  

Afterwards there was a much needed bath, a bottle, a grimble and a big poo and as I type we are still dosing, monitoring and waiting for this to go or change and I pray for the former.
