Got one that completely stressed and wigged me out. My son was still an infant, around 3-5 months old. He had been running a fever mid 90's for a couple days. Infant tylenol wasn't helping much. So of course I'm overly worried about my little one.
One night when I put him down to sleep after bringing it down around 90. Roughly 1 am he awakes up, as infants do, screaming. I freaked out waking up from my dead sleep hearing him. I rushed to his crib and quickly picked him up. Put him on my shoulder and patted his back. Softly saying "Ssshhh, it's okay" repeatedly. Only to feel he his burning up after he calmed down. Took his temperature once again. Running a potentially deadly high of 102. Completely freaked out I rush into my mom's room and woke her up. Telling her "We gotta go to the hospital now. Claudio's running a 102 fever." with a few tears rolling down my face. Overwhelmed with the fear my son might overheat.
Getting to hospital they hasted us to a bed in the ER. Quickly a doctor came in and done the routine questions as I filled out the paperwork. Few minutes later they brought him meds to bring it down. Hour or so later his fever ceased to exist and he smiled about grabbing his feet. Definitely the most stressful and fearing day as a parent.
