Doesn't matter how old they get.....

....you still worry. My son-in-law called an hour ago or so to let me know my

daughter has a fever. She was at 103.9 when he called, all worried of course. I

had him give her Tylenol, put her in a lukewarm tub, force some fluids, etc. And

gave him specific instructions if she starts hallucinating, having a seizure,

confusion, etc to immediately take her to the ER. (911 is not an option where

they live--they are in the middle of nowhere). She has a cough, etc. I told him

to call me in 30-45 minutes with an update and her temp has decreased to about

99.9 and she is resting now.

Just goes to show no matter the age of the child with JRA--they are still

that--your child--and we still worry.
