So, don't hesitate to bring her in at 105-106, like you did. That's why you have insurance. Pass off the doc's comments as dicta at that point.

I agree and I have no compuction about being a ninny or pain in the ass and will certainly tap into my expensive non-HMO cover. (I did, though, forgo the drama of dialing 911 if only for a free ride but ONLY because I thought the bright lights would have scared Vietbabe as well as the "whooh" of the horn).
Still though it seems that bringing her in is not going to do much good. In the end all they did, besides stick a tylennol suppository up her butt, was test her blood, pee and poo. I already have the tylennol suppositories here at home and she already had the tests so I guess I don't need to bring her in if she goes over 105, but.....still!!!! That's so high!!!

Watch for fever convulsions as temps approach 106-107.
|
After your description, I'm going to watch for them alrighty. BUT NOT ALONE. Time for a friend or Mom to sleep over to help me do the temp cooldown/medicine thing. Jesus, I'm so dreading tonight. The fever is already rising today. I feel like I'm in the movie, The Fog. (Though I look nothing like Adrianne Barbieu**)
BTW - at what age do kids generally stop the bulk of these frightening fever incidents? `Cause that's the minimum age the future kids of this home will be adopted at. I'm imposing a minimum age AND WEIGHT requirement.
