First Fever

We made it almost a year and half with no illnesses. I must say that this was the least fun milestone we have had to date. 

Elliot alternated between this:
Completely dazed
 And this:
Screaming and thrashing around in reaction to days of accumulated frustration
Fortunately, he power slept through most of the miserable 4 days. He was only awake for like 5 hours a day for the duration of the ordeal. 14 hours of sleep at night + a 5 hour nap? Pretty impressive.

I did end up taking him to the doctor because he wasn't eating and his fever got decently high. He was in his dazed mode at the doctor, and didn't even protest too much over the strep test. It came back negative. It was probably a teething fever. 


Glad to say that he is now back to normal!
