N has a 102 temp.  I am 99% sure it is teething related (though that's high..) but he has shown all the typical signs of teeth errupting and 2 molars are coming through and 2 canines are swollen.

He is miserable and climbing the walls.  He's dying to get outside.  I took him out for a few min, while I was on the phone and he was so happy.  Would you take your kid outside with a fever?  I am thinking about taking him in his stroller around the block to get some air and get out of each others way but I wonder if I'm being a deadbeat taking a sick kid out.

Thoughts? and has your kid even had a 102 teething?  N's had 101... this is kind of high.

What's the weather? But, yeah, I would. Especially if he seems happier.

I am more a stickler against damp air than cold.

Yes, take him out if the weather's nice.

Also, I think taking him out for a walk around the block in his stroller is totally different from taking him to a playdate or around other kids, just in case it is something more than teething.

Thanks mamas. We're walking. Thank god. I was going to pull my hair out with all the crying. He's happy, I'm happy. Ahhh. It's sunny but overcast and 58. Sweatshirt and sweatpants weather. Refreshing.

I'm a little late, but yes, absolutely! I'm a firm believer in the power of fresh air.

Yep. I go more on how the kid is acting than than the number. I wouldn't take my kid with a fever of 102 on a playdate, but on a walk/empty playground/etc? Sure.

One of my kids will sleep for 22 hrs with a fever of 102 and the other is bouncing off the walls wanting to play legos/Wii/Nerf gun battles.

Hope he feels better!

Our pedi says 103 is the new 102. :-p Hope N is feeling better soon!

How'd he feeling?

Apparently awful.  I had to work tonight and he was asleep when I got home.  I almost skipped out the door - it was such a rough day.  Poor little boy.  I just don't understand what's going on.  He has no other isgns of being sick.  Just a high temp and ohmy the irritability.  And he's not eating and drooling and clingy and has runny poop (but nothing alarming).  Teeth, right? 

My god.  I hope they all pop through tonight.  But he loved the walk.  Or at least most of it... I'm going to be so bummed if I don't get to see 2Brides tomorrow  

please, please be fever free in the morning...
