We had a huge weekend June 13 through June 15. We met a lot of the Hermsen family for dinner at Macinaw's on Friday night, then met Auntie Sandy, Great Grandma Bernice, and Cousin Kendra at IHOP for breakfast Saturday morning. Following breakfast, we all packed up in our cars, picked up Auntie Judy and met Auntie Nancy at the NEW ZOO in Suamico. We had a wonderful day at the zoo, then went home and Finn took a nap. In the late afternoon, we attended Bob and Dot's 60th wedding anniversary party. Finn was still sleeping well into this event. The whole weekend Nana Terrie and myself kept feeling his head and saying, he seems warm, I didn't think much of it though since it was a really hot weekend. After Bob and Dot's I took his temperature. He had a lower grade fever of 100.8. Again, I didn't think much of it, Finn was a little fussier than normal but it was hot and he wasn't feeling the greatest. Nana Terrie and I gave him a cool bath and his fever broke almost immediately. It was up and down through the night. In the morning, I called the Ask-a-Nurse line just to ensure it wasn't a must to bring him in. She of course said to bring him in right away because all his symptons sounded like an ear infection. So, as a good Mom, I did.... the doctor laughed at me. He had a small cold and sniffle. That was about it. Still better safe than sorry.
I would also like to note....other than this incident, Finn is 5 months now and we have not had one other fever, ear infection, cold, etc. Breastfeeding really works wonders!
