The Beach

We went to the beach for Codie's Baby Shower the last weekend in June. We had a really good time for the most part except that Tyler decided to have his first fever the first night we were there. Towards the evening he was feeling a little warm so I asked Brian to go get some medicine for him before it got too late. I gave him some before he went to bed and thought it would be fine. I woke up later that night and he was on fire. I round everyone up (they were out playing poker) and we tried to find a thermometer but couldn't find one and no stores are open late around there. We ended up putting him in a lukewarm bath and just getting through the night. In the morning he was fine but as the day went on he started getting hotter. We decided to go home after the shower and by the time we got home his fever was 103. I called the doctor who agreed it was probably teething and said to alternate motren & tylenol. Of course both are recalled so you have to find off brands and I sent Brian to find a motren substitute. An hour later he got back with a bottle, he had to go to 4 stores before he found some. We all went to bed because he couldn't have the motren for a few hours and it was 11:00 at night. I woke up a few hours later and he was on fire again. He was 104 so I gave him some motren and he and I took a lukewarm bath. After he got out he was down to 101 and a few hours later his fever broke. It was scary but we all lived through it and he was fine the next few nights. He's just been chewing on everything (even furniture) so I hope his tooth comes through soon!
