I just wanted to thank you Bilmore for posting this a few months back. This just happened to a baltspawn today.
The only thing that kept me from totally losing my shit was knowing this from your post. I still lost my shit, but not until I got the temperature dropped (just took her outside, actually) and the baltspawn to the hospital.
Thank you.
(she's okay, and fast asleep)

Eegads! Sorry you had to go through this. Was it the flu? Yes, that post from Bilmore was good - that was back in Sept. when I asked about temps after getting back from ER b/c Vietbabe's had gone to 105.5. Is it not terrifying how hot they can get? (dye from jammies cooked onto sheets; pee pee in diaper steaming!). And then they're ok and sleeping while you suffer post-traumatic stress symptoms!!
It's good you remembered to bring the temp down before you rush to the ER. For kids like mine who refuse oral medicine when they are freaking: I got acetiminophine (sp?) suppositories. It seems cruel but they go in real easy and dissolve right away. This way you know they got the right dosage. For some reason, when I put the suppository even near *the* spot, it gets sucked in and I don't even have to really put it in. Jet engine butt!
Well hope you can recover quickly from that experience.
