I really hate fevers!

Julian stayed home from school today due to having a fever since sunday afternoon. I have never understood why he gets these high fevers... they strike out of the blue, usually are 103+ and last 24 hours. No other symptoms but a fever. However this one has dragged on now for a day and a half so far and common WITH these fevers is the febrile seizures :( Julian had been evaluated for seizures several times in the past due to history of possibles. We had been scheduled for a 48 hour EEG but julian only made it about 8 hours into it when he was at his dad's and removed all the wires! Tonight.. he once again showed me he still seizes with these fevers. I think it is sitting around 100 maybe 101 cause he isnt as hot as he has been but still it is scary watching him convulse and not being able to do a damn thing! :(

Makes me wonder too... My nephew has seizures and I remember you could almost guarantee he would have a seizure that night by his horrible behavior the afternoon before. Julian has been beyond a total bear since wednesday. Every day since wednesday it has been a battle, dragging him kicking and screaming out of places like a friends house, the park, the mall. He screams so much sometimes he pukes. It has become a new tactic of his to tell me he is going to so have had to start being a little callous and telling him if he had to to please do it before he got in the car or I hand him a bucket while driving :/ :( We spent 45 minutes at the park the other day after he was dragged kicking and screaming to the car.. trying to get him IN his carseat. the boy is famous for locking his body into a straight line that just will NOT bend at all. and straight doesnt work when he has to SIT to be buckled in :( I wonder since this fever sprang out of nowhere once his behavior eased up if they aren't somehow related. I wish I could think back to the other times he has had these high spikes and remember what his behavior had been coming up to them.
