Emmett is very clearly in a fever flare. He's in a horrible place, and seems to have lost his ability to talk without screaming. He's been screaming all morning. I know he's miserable, and I don't blame him for any of this but it's not easy to maintain the mindset, when there's so much screaming. I wanted to share a time line of sorts, that show his temperature as a fever flare is overtaking him.
It's been a mixed bag this afternoon. Everyone is glad Mommy is home, but it's also been a long weekend. Elliott's doing well, but Emmett is really struggling. I'm fairly certain that Emmett is entering into a fever cycle. I've been tracking his temperature over the last few days and it's been mostly 99°F or higher. That's not technically a fever but it is indicative of a fever cycle, along with inflamed joints. He's been unbelievably difficult this afternoon. He's overreacting to everything, melting down as a result, and driving me crazy. The poor kid is miserable, and there isn't anything we can do aside from extending an insane amount of patience his way. On a positive note, Nokia Health sent me something pretty amazing, and it's been a huge…
After a long night, Elliott appears to be feeling much better. Emmett on the other hand, is still not feeling well. He's got a large mouth sore, and is running a minor fever. All signs point to a fever cycle. Emmett is not in the best mood, and I can't exactly blame him. I'm hoping that he feels better as the day goes on.
