Hi Mike, Thanks for your quick reply!
WHERE on EARTH did I come up with Celcius? (shaking head and chuckling at my silly self) Luke is my 3rd son and I never panic at fevers I rarely use tylenol or motrin because I believe: 1) the fever is there for a purpose - to kill the infection, and 2) if the fever comes down, how do you know if the kid is getting better or if it is just the medicine/bandaide. However, I usually give motrin or tylenol at around the 104/105 range (unless of course fever is the only symptom and then I just watch it but at 105 I usually do something to bring the fever down. This time, I dosed with Motrin because he was complaining so much about body aches. It did the trick and his fever rapidly came down to 99. He drank the 50/50 of water and probably 20ppm CS over the course of the past 5 hours. I just measured the water bottle and I think there was probably 4 oz. of the CS and 4 oz. of water in that bottle so I guess I really blew it where "being conservative" is concerned. Luke has not had CS before now. However, his fever - 5 hours after the motrin - is still down and he is sleeping peacfully (finally). He threw up a small amount which I don't know if I should attribute to Herx or to the "bug". Regardless, as soon as he threw up he finally went to sleep. I gotta get to sleep but will keep everyone posted on how it goes. Thanks for the help! Best Regards, Lea Ann Savage Satellite Beach, FL 321-773-7088 ----- Original Message ----- From: M. G.
