Now I'm confused!

D's temp was definitely up last night. DH even bought an oral digital thermometer on his way home from lodge and it was above 100 on that thermometer as well as the ear thermometer(the ear one gave a slightly higher reading). I gave him a motrin at about 8pm, he went to bed early, slept nearly 12 hours, got up, said he felt great, ate a huge breakfast, and his temp was completely normal. It's now nearly 10am and it's still normal. He seems fine today and says he has no headache. For now I'll keep an eye on him and keep an eye on his temp and see what happens. It's a very rainy morning so I'll make sure he takes it easy today and we are getting ready to pop in a movie. Maybe he just over did it on Monday since he was outside nearly the entire day and was on his bike almost the whole time. He will go back to the dr's on Saturday morning for a re-check and he has to be on the antibiotic for another 9 days. Maybe it's just going to take a little more time for him to be 100% and maybe the temp last night was his body's way of getting him to slow down.

Tonight is our weekly BBQ. We are making Fajita's. I have the meat marinating now and I did as much as I could this morning so I can take it easy the rest of the day. Steph is bringing some dips and the beer and we have a tropical fruit salad, rice, beans, chips and salsa and brownies for dessert. After we eat the plan is to move some more things out of the basement and into the garage and she has more boxes to move in(she was here on Monday with a bunch). Her plan is to bring as much as she can in small trips between now and when she has to move out so on that last weekend all she have to move is furniture.

Now I just have to hope that it stops raining long enough for us to grill. It's pouring this morning and the forecast is for scattered showers all day. If it clears long enough to start the fire we should be Ok because once the charcoal is started we can move the grill into the garage or under the eaves.

Sarah, did the doctor do any additional tests besides strep? I wonder if it's Malaria..the fever usually comes in evenings and is gone during daytime. It might even skip a day or two.

{Hugs} Hope he gets well soon.
