Last Thursday night, Jan's mom called us and said that we probably shouldn't bring Amaya over the next day because Paul (Jan's dad) was not feeling well. He had a fever......the next morning (last Friday) when I lifted Amaya out of her crib I noticed that she felt really warm to the touch - almost hot.
I took her temp - yes, there - and it was 102! I took it throughout the day, and at its highest it was 104. Jan called the Mayo nurseline (when Amaya's temp was still hovering around 103.7) and the nurse said that we should take Amaya in if her temp ever reached 104. It did, so off we went to the ER at about 6 p.m. After a nice long wait, we saw the doctor and she ruled out an ear infection or a UTI. The doctor said it was viral, and it would eventually pass on its own, but to keep an eye out for other symptoms.
As of today, her temp is hovering around 100. It's been a little difficult to get her to eat solid foods, but she nurses fine and drinks from her sippy cup just fine... so we're not too worried - yet.
