Henry had his first official "fever" of 101.8 on Tuesday, and we are still home in an attempt to contain whatever is causing the fever and to keep an eye on him. I noticed he was hot to the touch when I picked him up from Mother's Morning Out, and the teacher reported that he didn't eat his food--just took his bottle. It was odd since I made him zucchini and some cereal for his lunch, and I fully expected him to at least gobble up his zucchini, a favorite. Henry was also very quiet and didn't smile at me, which most people who spend any time with Henry would immediately recognize as a problem. Henry smiles a lot... a whole lot! I checked his temp at home, and it was 101.8. He also went easily down for and took a long afternoon nap, another sign that something was wrong!
Since then, his temperature fluctuated from 101.8 to 98.9 the next morning to 101.7 last evening. It is staying steady at 99.9 today, so after speaking with the nurses again today, I am just watching him and making sure it doesn't get back into fever realm. So far, his additional symptoms are that he doesn't want to eat--just nurse--and he has some killer gas. One nurse mentioned that it may be teething related! Teething. What a pain!
Here's a video of Henry crawling and being inventive. He's a little sluggish today but still super cute!
