Already a few weeks before Silas' Doctors appointement I was getting a bit nervous. I was nervous about the shots hurting him, about him crying during and all day after, about him getting a high fever and not knowing what to do...etc. Well I can say all the worrying was not neccesarry! It all went so well. Silas didn't even cry at all when he got the shots. He made a few pouting noises but that was it. The rest of the day he was pretty sleepy but otherwise pretty much himself. At 4pm he went down for a nap and didn't wake up again until 9pm! At 9, when he woke up, he was burning up and after getting some food I took his temperature. It was 39 degrees Celsius, so I wasn't too worried as the package said that the thermometer would beep if there was a fever at 38.5. So I thought 0.5 over the normal was not so bad. Then Søren said, "Wow, 39, that's pretty high."... So I decided to convert it to Fahrenheit and it said 102! Hmm...it turns out that the thermometer beeps when the fever is high enough to be concerned. But he was still smiling at us and otherwise just a bit more cuddly than normal so we weren't too worried. We gave him some Tylenol Junior and put him back to bed. He slept pretty well during the night and in the morning he was fever free. It just goes to show that worrying ahead of time does no good, you always figure it out when your in the middle of it!
