Will's been running a fever since last Thursday morning. At times (Sat night and then again Sunday night) it's been dangerously high. 105.2 was the highest. Three strep tests were all negative. This morning (Tuesday) it's still at 102, although it didn't spike so high yesterday. If he's still running a fever tomorrow I'll take him back in to his pediatrician's office and they'll do a blood test for mono. Poor guy it's hard to see him so sick for so long. He has periods where he feels better and wants to play. But he's mostly lying around and taking it easy. He hasn't wanted to eat much, so of course we're feeding him whatever he wants. Before we knew it wasn't just a typical short virus, I left for Cousins' Weekend. Luke was with him Friday night through Sunday early afternoon. He did an amazing job - earning quite a few Mr. Mom points. :)
There's no medicine he can take for mono, just treat the symptoms which is what we're doing now but at least we would know what it is. Hoping he feels better soon.
