If it's not one thing, it's another. Last week Jasper had a fever. He had not been in the church nursery since before Christmas, and since he spent the previous week with grandpa and grandma - he just wasn't around kids. So on Tuesday afternoon when he got up from his nap and was just screamin' hot, I was concerned. He was restless overnight and awake every 6hrs ... just as the motrin was wearing off. At 7am his temp was 102.4deg. It's not high enough to warrant a trip to the ER, but it's the highest he's ever had. So we were off to the doctor for a visit first thing in the morning. After ruling out an ear infection, pneumonia and a urinary tract infection, we just had to sit and wait. For about two and a half days Jasper was unusually cranky and clingy. Goodness he clung. I couldn't walk around in the morning without him clinging to my leg.
When we were in the doctor's office on Wednesday, while Jasper was crying hard, I noticed something new ... his molars were coming in - both bottom ones. So when the fever broke, no infection materialized and no rash appeared, we started to look for alternate options. We figured his crankiness must be from teeth pain, and as I've told every mom about this week, they have all immediately said "oh, the fever must have been from teething."
Now Jasper now has a full mouth of teeth - eleven!
