When I got home from work Tony told me that Cooper out of no where had spiked a fever of 103, so he gave him some Tylenol. After an hour and a half, his temperature still was high so I called our Pediatrician but unfortunately they were booked for the day, so relunctly I took him to Nighttime Pediatrics. When we got there he had a fever of 104.3 and had a slight cough. The doctor checked him out and said there was nothing visibly wrong with him so he must have a virus. He said it was probably Hand, Foot and Mouth Virus, so gave me a list of things to be aware of and look for and just keep him comfortable with some Motrin. He said if it continued past 3-5 days call our Pediatrician and sent us on our way.
