No, I didn`t, but I`m on it...
I`m so thankful to have ya` all right here with me through this!
This is the first time that he has ran this high of fever....I have always heard that high fever can be dangerous with kids. Thanks again!
I'm surprised it hasn't happened before. I thought it was more common in younger kids.

Maybe Gatorade is only for the stomach flu. But I know it gave me strength when I had none left. Electrolytes.
Gatorade has aspartame in it - I don't think it's a good idea. Plain ol' water's just fine as he probably gets dehydrated.

One time, when he was 4, he had strep throat. He ran a high fever for a short time. Otherwise, no. He hasn`t really ran that high of a fever before, until now.
I woke him up, took his temp. it was still at 103.9. Rubbed him down all over with vinegar and cool water...Pewww!! I`m out of honey..
Sure can`t hurt anything. I`m new at this stuff.
I don't remember my young'uns ever having that high a temp...
We are taking him to the Emergency room now....104.5
I'm Praying for your Beloved Son from high here on the mountain.
