This morning he was hot again, given more Tylenol, and then Paul and Daddy played nicely together all morning. Mommy came home at lunch to nurse, and Paul fell asleep for a while. . .
When he woke up, Paul had a much higher fever (105.3!). Daddy took him to the doctor, and the doctor said (no, not "no more monkeys jumping on the bed") that his blood work was boarderline, and to take him to the ER, just to be on the safe side.
Daddy called Mommy at work, and as Daddy took Paul to the ER, Mommy had a quiet freak-out, and left work early to join them.
Paul's fever broke just as he was being checked out by the ER doc (not George Clooney, but still a nice man). We were sent home with the diagnosis of a virus, and instructions to hydrate, Tylenol, and watch for developing mutant abilities.
So far so good. . .

Those fevers are always so scary. I'm glad he's doing better--and looks no less cuter than at normal temperature!
Fevers are always so scary, especially that high! Has anyone told you the tylenol/benadryl trick? Dylan never responded to Tylenol so they had us alternating Tylenol and Benadryl each dosage, every 3 hours. I strongly suggest checking with your own doctor before trying this since I am not a pediatrician.
Feel better Paul!
