We decided to go to the doctor today because Reef still had a fever when he woke up and it was nearing the 48 hour mark. We went in and the nurse and doctor checked him up and down and told us it was a combo of a cold and all 4 top teeth coming in! She assured us that with a cold it can take 72 hours for a fever to go away as long as it stays below 105*. I will know this for next time!
As for the top teeth coming in...that is going to be a real fun project in itself! The top left tooth looks like it should poke through any day now and the other 3 are getting close. He wasn't this crabby with his first 2 teeth, so I'm chalking it up to the cold. The only other cold symptom that he has is a runny/congested nose...so we're trying to take care of that with saline. Last night he slept a little better than Thursday night with a 5 hour stretch from 11-4!
