Fever
We made it through Eli's first fever. Yesterday he got three vaccinations (two were injections) and we were warned they may cause a fever. We gave him baby Tylenol when we got home and he seemed to be fine, just a little sleepy. Then, in the evening he felt warm and started to get fussy. We took his temperature and it was 101.5. Poor little guy. We stripped him down, gave him more Tylenol, and put a cool compress on his head. Then we comforted him as best as we could until he calmed down enough to feed. Fortunately, the fever began to decrease and he fell asleep. Over the course of the night it kept going down and now he seems to be doing fine.
