Updating 'Fever Feelings'

For the moment everyone is napping (Kent included).  It was a looonnnggg night.  Jon Kent was still spiking a fever of 100-101 by the time bedtime rolled around.  He wanted to go to sleep at 7pm, which is VERY unlike him.  We managed to keep him up until 7:30pm.  I then gave him a bath and Zoey too.  He was out by 8:15pm.  Kent and I go to bed at 10pm.  Zoey wakes up at 11ish.  I feed her and then put her back to bed.  Jon Kent wakes up at 1:30am crying.  We take his temp and it was between 103.3-104.1 (took one in his ear the other rectorally).  We give him some medicine and then  we bring him back in bed with us.  He then wanted some 'babba' so he got that.  I believe around this time (it's a bit blurry to me now) Zoey wakes up too.  I nurse her quickly and send her back to bed.  Around 2:15am Jon Kent is WIDE awake.  So we pop in a movie and he watches that until he falls asleep around 3:30am.  Zoey then wakes up and wants to nurse.  I do that quickly and send her back to bed.  7:30am rolls around and Jon Kent is up.  Zoey gets up about 15 minutes later.  I call the doctor's office around 8am to get an appointment to see the doctor.  They tell us to come in at 10:30am.  We drop Zoey off at Kent's grandparents' house and off we go.  They checked his temp there and it was normal (bull hockey!).  The doctor checks his heart, lungs, ears, etc.  Everything checked out fine.  Well, except his left tube is starting to fall out.  So she told us to keep an eye out for that.  They then send us for lab work.  They draw his blood and do a strep throat test.  Both tests come back fine.  They finally just told us it was a fever virus and to just treat him with Tylenol and Motrin and keep him comfortable.  He once again seems fine, just a bit cranky here and there.  I am hoping this passes soon.

Hope he's feeling much better today and Zoey misses it this time.
