Something is definitely up. After staying home with Bruce on Thursday both resting because of not feeling well and diarrhoea. Knowing polygamy was on Friday we decided to wait it out and get Jason checked out in hospital. His temperatures during the day were not too bad, only gave him ponado in the afternoon. From there they just started to climb never going below 38. To add fuel to the fire we had a massive wind and thunder storm and in our area when the south westerly wind blows, the power goes out! So of course bang that was us in the dark with a very sick child and not being able to cool him down with the aircon or fan. The best we could do was suppositories and a luke warm bath to bring the fevers down. His temp got to 39 at one stage which really scared me as Jason has had fever convulsions in the past. Anyway we had to make a plan. Thank goodness for the wind, a luke warm bath and voltaren suppositories we managed to get the fever lower and Jason slept through until 4am. His temp again had risen to 38.8. Thankfully we were off to hospital for “polygam”.

Hope and pray that they will succeed in getting his temp. down. My heart is aching for more than one reason tonight and dont want Jason to be sick after his fantastic holiday with his grandparents. Cant be easy on them either. Praying for you too Jill.
