Aaron had an "off" day yesterday. He seemed to be really tired and just wasn't himself, with only a few smiles and giggles. Around 5pm I noticed he felt cool. I took his temp and it was down to 95.4. I started trying to warm him. His temp slowly started coming up and leveled off at 96.2. (anything above 96 we consider good for Aaron) I stressed dosed him and gave him all of his meds (all 8 of them) and prayed that is temp would remain above 96. I planned on calling Dr C in the morning if he did ok during the night. I checked on him later and found that his temp had dropped to 94.2. He was really lethargic and not wanting to wake up. I immediatly started trying to warm his again. I checked his temp and it was not going up. I turned up his warming vest and added more blankets, and finally it slowly raised. He was still lethargic but a little warmer. I finally got it up to 95.5 after a few hours. I checked him every hour during the night, sometimes more often and his temp stayed between 95.5 and 95.8. I packed our bags and got his favorite blanket and toys ready. I just knew that he was going to be admitted. I just kept praying that it would reslove itself and that he wouldnt need to go to the Dr or hospital around all of the germs. At 4:10 I checked him again and his temp was up to 96.8. It went up an entire degree in just 45 minutes. At 7:40 he was awake and it the best mood!! Lots of sweet giggles and smiles. His temp was 97.2!!! So far today his temp has been up and he has been back to his normal happy self. He must of had a seizure yesterday and his body just couldn't keep his temp up. They take so much out of him and his recovery time can be up to 24-36 hours. I am so thankful that we were able to avoid all of the germs at the hospital. I cherish EVERY smile and giggle with Aaron. I don't take a second or granted.
