Hot Potato

As most of you know, Josiah is a "fever kid" and has had more than his fair share of temperature spikes this winter.  The latest round of virus fighting included a night time fever of 105.  Now, I'm used to picking him up and feeling heat come off of him but even I was quite alarmed that night...105 is a VERY high fever and we seriously could have heat the whole room with his little body:-(  I resisted the urge to call 911 and gave him Tylenol instead and sat up with him until the fever came down.  Here are a few pictures to help you visualize what a 105 fever does to a little guy...

Fever is finally coming down so he can sleep, I know he shouldn't have a blanket on him but when he's that sick and asks "Banket peese" how can a mommy say no?...and yes, a graham cracker is a MUST when controlling fevers:-)

"Yikes Mommy, that was a rough night!"
