I missed the last quarter of the SuperBowl last evening — well, live, at least — because my son got sick at the party we went to, and we had to drive an hour home. Then, his fever spiked to 105 in the early morning hours, so I spent the entire night up with him, alternating ibuprofen and acetaminophen dosages and applying wet wash cloths to bring his fever down.
Finally got him down to 99. So it’s time for me to get some sleep.
Post links to anything of interest in the comments here, and I’ll be back with you once I’ve gotten some rest. You wouldn’t like me now, anyway: not only am I irritable from lack of sleep; but I ate about 2 lbs of chili yesterday, and my body is having a good, noisy giggle reminding me of that particular transgression.
Im sorry. I hope all are feeling better?
Ditto here. Hope you both are well soon.
mmmm…. chili……
Seems SuperBowl XLV set TV records, despite the antics of the halftime debacle.

“…my body is having a good, noisy giggle reminding me of that particular transgression.”
It wasn’t the chili. It was…global warming!
Son’s fever is back up to 103. And now we’re thinking what we thought was a rug burn on the back of his hand might be a rash.
Sigh.
Fevers are hard on moms and dads. Best wishes.
Hope everything’s all right. We’ve got two with strep. Nasty.
I’m with you on the chili. I made the mistake of eating my wife’s vitamins last week when mine ran out instead of buying my own. Hers have iron in them. Now I have a cannonball in my ass and I ate two bowls of chili last night. I think I’m going to explode.
Or ask my math major wife to help me work it out with a pencil.
We called a nurse, and she had us check his tongue. Had dots on it. She thinks it might be strep. My wife just left to take him to Urgent Care.
Ironically, he had his yearly check-up late last week. And as always happens, he likely caught this thing from the pediatrician’s office.
I’m just very worried at the high fever. It seemed to break last night but now it’s back.
We will say an extra prayer. Take care of yourself too, in the process.
That is very scary. I hope he quickly recovers. I hope you get some sleep.
Was it the bean dip?
Oh, strep from the doctor’s office. We have been there. Done that. Fortunately no superhigh fever spikes (at least from that).

A good suggested breakfast for Steeler fans: Turnovers…
Godspeed little S.
nothing worse than when your son turns into a fireball. Pretty scary stuff.
I hope all is well.
Hope your boy gets better soon.
