As followers of this blog can attest, teething has been a challenge for Mason and now is no exception. We're not sure, but it appears that Mason has spiked a low grade fever -- 99.3 degrees at one point today. For most, that's really not that high, but for Mason who typically runs cold (97's), this is a little worrisome. Now, it could be as simple as he was wearing clothes that were too warm (a fleece sleeper) or he's teething (not that uncommon to have a low grade fever), but given the fact that he wasn't his usual playful self today, it appears that he might be fighting off something. The good news is that we're in the right place for it to happen. The bad news is that it might be happening. We will continue to monitor and respond accordingly. Hopefully this is no more than a little blip and we can get beyond it with a little tylenol/ibuprofen.
Tomorrow we start with a new doctor who has been brought up to speed by this week's doctor. We expect to have a slow day tomorrow, then resume our progress toward the right level of lasix and tolerance of the increased calories.
Please say an extra prayer tonight that Mason's fever is temporary and not indicative of fighting an infection!
