Guest guest Posted August 5, 2000 Report Share Posted August 5, 2000 Hi Lori, Thanks for the advice. I feel worse this week than last week! Last week, my fever was 100.5, but it was normal by the time we came back to Texas this past Monday. This just hit all of a sudden, I feel like CRAP! Thanks for visiting me in the hospital.
