Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Just wanted to report, Jimmy has had a fever 2 nights in a row with 103+ temps. To make a long story short (ha, which is virtually impossible for me to do) -- we put a patch of iodine on his back (between his shoulder blades), and within 20 min, his fever reduced to around 99-100 degrees. He still has a low grade fever (which is fine) We haven't used motrin or tylenol, and we managed to keep him hydrated. He acts 'normal' during the day, and he usually gets the high fever at night. Today he has 'post nasal drip' (no green anything) and has a productive cough... Here's the kicker...no jargon. Completely with it, and super calm and intelligent thoughts, sentences, and thought processes -- he's so with it, and so put together (even for typical kids - and I would go as far to say 'better' than a typical child)--but he sounds like crap. The only other 'annoying' thing is - he is consistently wetting the bed (which is just a laundry issue.) I have upped his supps, but it's still happening. (normally, this goes away when these are upped) (and yes, I'm now juicing for him all day because that is what he is asking for. Ate 3 eggs this morning, and wanted more. But this is all he will eat. He doesn't want crackers, or sweets, nothing. Eggs and juicer juice.) thoughts? laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
