102 for an infant isn't significantly high and the prayers continue. I'm not making light of the fever, I just don't want to see you reading more into that number than is warranted and raising your anxiety level unnecessarily. We're still praying for you also.

We did'nt know and it scared the devil out of us. Thanks for the infro, it makes me feel better to know.

You could ask the nurses who are taking care of him about it too -- in babies especially, fever can be a defense mechanism against what ever is causing the infection. A lot of bacterias "can't stand the heat" -- so the fever can kill them off.

I remember when I was a brand new mom -- I had to have driven my doctor crazy the first few times my daughter was sick. One time, she had a fever of 101-102 and he wasn't really doing anything to treat it. The dr said "don't worry about it"... I said "WHEN do I worry about it?".

It really depends on what is causing his fever to start with. If it is infection or inflammation and whether it's a virus or bacteria. There is a lot to consider. Ask them if/when you should be worried about it.

Are they giving you any indications about his progress? I can imagine how helpless you feel. I hope they can get him turned around SOON!!

Thank you for posting an update. He's been on my mind since I read your first post. I'm sorry he's still not out of the woods. I hope he's better soon.
