AND THEY WONDER WHY I HAVE GREY HAIR The child has had a fever all day. She's been cranky, tired, and irritable. Not 20 minutes ago, she woke up from a nap. We took her temp with our crappy ear thermometer and it came up 104.9F! We took it again and got 105.8F! Well, naturally, we freaked. We put her in a cool bath and called the doctor. Doc said go to the ER. We got her out of the bath and started gettign her dressed. It was then the R realized that the probe cover on the crappy ear thermometer was torn. We took her temp again--rectally, this time--and got 101.9F. The crappy ear thermometer immediately into the trash. I'm still shaking. |
