Fever

My poor baby had a fever of 104.3. We went to the Doctor on Tuesday. She checked him out and said everything looks okay and that it must be a virus. She wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, so had us go get blood work done at the hospital. Of course I was freaking out! What else could it be? She wanted to get his blood count??? I was fearing the worst, "what if he has Leukemia?" When we got to the hospital, Caden was super tired (missed the morning nap) and of course not feeling well. The lab technician told us we had to get a stint put in. I had to hold Caden's arm out still, otherwise he said he'd have to do it again. I made sure Caden's arm wasn't going anywhere. I think the whole experience was far more traumatic for me than for Caden. Later that day, the Doctor called and said everything is fine, and just to give him some baby Motrin or Tylenol to keep the fever down and also a lukewarm bath. We did as we were told and Caden was better in the next 48 hours. Poor guy, it was definitely one of the scariest times for me thus far. I don't like it when my baby is sick. Anyways, here is a picture of Caden after the Hospital visit and after a nap. He looked pretty unscathed by the whole thing...always his happy little self!
