it went up as high as 140. our triage nurse ask us to take supergirl to see her pediatrician because the temperature was way too high for comfort. we were instructed to give her tylenol and it did lower her temp to 102, by the time we got in to see her doc. seems like there were a couple of other babies/kids in with the same symptoms, very high fever, but otherwise ok. he informed us that 2 of the 3 flu virus strains were included in her flu shot, and she may have caught the third strain. besides, being a bit lethargic, she's her usual bossy supergirl self. she will not allow us to put cold towels on her head, but we gave her a cool bath and it seemed to help. there really is nothing to do but observe. we aren't very worried... this is the 5th time she's had a fever, but the past 4 times were due to vaccinations. our rule of thumb is- if she's still her active, social butterfly, talkative self, we don't worry. =P
she's also picked up a few new sounds or words! (jeh jeh)
superdad and i are still looking for a new pad. wish us luck!
