Charlotte's fever just spiked to over 104 for the third time today- but her feet are FREEZING cold- any ideas?

oh yes, and as a lovely bonus she just puked all over both of us. and I'm here alone- so hubby will be coming home to two naked girls!

 

[mummy3]

Hmm thats odd. Everytime we've had fevers that high the kids have always just exuded heat, I'd probably question whether the thermometer is working right first. Eek at the puke though! Is her tummy upset a little from the antibiotics or from ibuprofen? Lol at hubby coming home to naked, you're supposed to be having him think you're super tired not encouraging

Morning!

hey! xx

 

[heyyady]

ugh, naked and smelling like sick is NOT encouraging

the thermometer works- i used a second one to double check

 

[harveydog]

He's doing amazingly well He's eating on his own and the jaundice has cleared up- so it;s just the "No Apnea/Brady Spells Count Down" for him and will hopefully be home with his Mama by early in the week
His father keeps getting mad at me for calling him pretty- but I can't help it, he IS pretty!

[Wiggler]

Urgh, I have the lurgy really bad today, I feel really minging, must pull it together though, have some friends popping over soon, got OH doing the housework so they don't think they are walking into a bombsite

Whats everyone doing today? I was hoping to go for a walk this morning, but the weather put a stop to that so we all snuggled up and watched some films and the kids had a little nap. Not sure what we are doing once my friends go, probably more snuggles and films

Anyways must be off, gotta make myself look somewhat human before my friends get here Hope everyone is having a lovely day x x x

What you up to today? We have glorious sunshine not been out yet so could still be cold

its nearing 8am and i'm hoping to finally go to bed Milo went to bed at 8:30, so he woke up at 4:30. the only time me and OH get "time alone" is after work. so we risk no sleep

going to be nice today. hopefully taking the kids out. maybe take Ava to the park for the first time. we'll see. how is Aaron so far today?

 

[MilosMommy7]

wiggler- hope you feel better. enjoy your time with friends

 

[heyyady]

Milos- I hear you on the "Alone time"- our schedule isn't nearly as off kilter as yours seems to be, but I frequently will forgo sleep just to have an hour or two with my husband when he gets home in the middle of the night- although right now I think I would agree to not see him at all for a week if it meant I could get a nights sleep in! SO TIRED today

Another long night with the girls- As I said Charlotte spiked up- it's not the fever I'm having an issue with, I was/am questioning her feet being freezing cold during such a high fever? 104.3 (40.17) it just seems odd to me that her feet would be so cold Her hands were flush and hot-

Harvey- here is a great informational page on how to deal with fevers, if you want to give it a look see before Aaron ever gets a fever

Have fun at the park

You must be knackered, hope you get 40 winks soon

Aaron woke at 6.15am had a bottle then play and went to sleep at 7am for 20mins, had another play and went to sleep till 10am. My boy seems to like his sleep (he fights it first tho)

Aaron is his usual chirpy, shrieking self lol. He's cutting his two upper front teeth and keeps pulling this funny face at us and rolling his Tongue on the
front bottom two, he looks a bit like a gurna

We've been to our local countryside for walk with Harvey and now chilling and having nibbles and a movie night later here

 

[24/7]

Hope all the babies are better soon.

Sam has just spent the day shreading toilet roll. xx

Thanks for the info heyy

I don't want to worry you but I googles cold feet with fever and it says the 3 common early warning symptoms of meningitis or septicaemia are:
Cold hands or feet even with a fever
Leg pains
Mottled skin

Check website patient.co.uk

Heyy, hun if the thermometer is working and shes already on antibiotics then you need to take her to the ER, its not normal to have a fever go on this long, she needs to be checked again How are you taking the temp? Still rectally? If you're taking via head/armpit, you're meant to add a degree. Sorry you got not much sleep

Harvey, if I whine back at eilidh she just whines even louder Sounds like you're having a lovely day!

24, Eilidh likes toilet paper too, how's Sams walking going?

Milos that why I love that hubbys an engineer, generally its 9-5 Although he will be travelling alot more now he's getting more senior so I guess that means I wont see him as much, lol I think I'd take sleep though when I'm knackered Hope you get a nap

Wiggler have a good day with friends hun

I think we're going to go to cactus park today, let the kids play, theres a huge dust storm today and thunderstorm tomorrow so limited time to get out

 

[heyyady]

Harvey- I have just run her through all the symptom checks for meningitis and I really don't think that's it for three reasons- one- her fever comes and goes. Two- she doesn't seem to be photo sensitive in any way and three- she can touch her chin to her chest and I can bend her knees up to her chest without discomfort. Thank you for the heads up (And mild heart attack ) This is why I asked you ladies about the cold feet

Mummy- I take temps Axillary- I don't do bum temps with my babies - and I have been adding a degree. I have a call in to the doctor- I was supposed to wait til tonight to see if her symptoms progressed but I'm tired of her being so damn ill! Charlotte is NOT on antibiotics yet, Elle is- hence the phone call- I want him to start her, too.

What does everyone else have planned today? It's Saint Patricks day and I HAD plans- but now am home with the babas and my sickness _- I guess it's because I'm sick, Irish Car Bombs don't even sound appealing right now But since I've been sick I didn't even buy a brisket, so I think I'll make Chinese instead

[mummy3]

Ah I thought you had them both on antibiotics now, in that case yeah its probably time she got some too

Dont do much for st patricks either, chinese sounds good!

Harvey,

Our mother's day isn't until May- but I don't hold my breath last year I had just given birth to his TWIN and I got squat- so... guessing he'll keep up the tradition this year
I really can't complain though, all year long he brings flowers just because, or buys me something he thought I'd like for no reason. he just expresses differently I guess.
