Monday night Evan came down with a fever. It hit him out of nowhere and there were no other cold symptoms. Motrin usually does the trick, but he woke up in the middle of the night and he was completely burning up. We dosed him again Tuesday morning after a horrible night of sleep. He really perked up and it was as if he was healed! But he came crashing down after 3 hours and his fever jumped back up to 105. He was completely listless. After seeking advice from the nurse, we went to see the doctor and she warned that the bug going around was a fever-diarrhea combo. Lovely! And wouldn't you know it, we got home and the the diarrhea hit. Late that evening, Evan's fever broke and this morning he was in the best mood. You would have never guessed he was lying helpless on the couch the other day. This was totally one of those 24-hour bugs you hear about. Hopefully he is completely over this, cause it was so horrible (for all of us!) And we were lucky, cause Dr. warned that the fever could last 3 days and the di-di last 5 days. Ouch!
