When David was about 6 months old he got his first really high fever. It was scary. We worried, prayed, called the Dr. and then it went away on its own. No reason. Just came and went. Well, apparently he is pre-disposed to them b/c he gets them 4 or 5 times a year. Sometimes mild, sometimes really high and strong but they eventually leave. Last summer he even had one for 10 days! (We ran all kinds of tests and it left as suddenly as it came. Whatever.)
But these are the things that I have noticed about a fever:
1) They tend to come without warning. Maybe a little fussiness a day or so before but that's it.
2) They can go from low grade to raging in like a nanosecond.
3) They never happen during the day or during the week. It's almost always at night after hours or on the weekend when you can't get to the Dr.
4) The days afterward are the worst. It's sad when they are pitiful and don't have energy but Mama is really sad when they are fever free and a real pill.
Right now we are fever free but boy is he a pill. He's all sweet one minute and the next he is screaming about something inconsequential. Jesus help us.

Mine did and still do the same thing... the mystery fever - usually only lasting 24 hours...who knows...
Bless him. And you.
Very funny. In a not funny that he's sick sort of way.
