Spike
Poor little baby Lennon's fever registered at around 104 sometime this morning as we were getting ready for church. Instead of running out the door for church we headed over to our family doc's after hours clinic. We were hoping that our ear thermometer had registered wrong, but when they checked his temp rectally an hour or so after we had first checked it, it still came in somewhere in the upper 103's. He was still putting up a good fight though, which the doc said was a good sign. She said she didn't usually see kids with such high fevers that still had so much fire. I was not surprised. That's Lennon for ya! They couldn't find any sign of illness other than the fever. Ears, throat, lungs, everything looked and sounded great. She said to just try to make him comfortable and if anything else develops to give Dr Coffey a call during the week. He seems to be doing better now. We've got him dosed on Tylenol and Ibuprofen and he's sleeping away. What's to come in the morning I have no idea.

Poor little Lentron!!! Give him a big hug from his Aunt Hill. I miss and love you guys!
I stumbled upon your blog via Google. When I had 103.8 as a child, my parents bathed me in rubbing alcohol, and it broke my fever. It creates an exothermic situation, and the heat the body uses to burn off the alcohol is expelled, lowering the body temp. I hope this helps!
