Fever scare

Well, I scared Mommy and Daddy on Tuesday night. When Mommy picked me up from my late nap I was hot to the touch so Daddy took my temperature. It said 100.1 and the doctor said it was ok if it were under 100.5. Grandma and Grandpa had 2 more thermometers so Daddy retested to make sure ours was correct. They read 101.8 and 101.6 so Mommy and Daddy brought me to the hospital in Streator to get checked out. When we got to the hospital they took my temp and it was 103.5 so they gave me some tylenol and did a lot of tests. They took 4 tries to take my blood and it made me VERY upset because they had to hold me down and dig around in my arm for the vein. Daddy growled at the last nurse that tried and failed. Every time I would fall asleep they would have to do another test so I was very tired after a while. After all the tests, they all came back negative so they weren't able to tell us why I had such a fever. We finally got home at 3am. I slept all day Wednesday except when Mommy fed me and when Daddy and Mommy gave me a bath. My fever would keep coming back after the medicine wore off. The doctor said we would have to go see him to do more tests if the fever hadn't stopped within a day. After sleeping all day Wednesday I was starting to feel better when Mommy and Daddy were going to sleep. I am feeling much better today. Thanks Mommy and Daddy for taking care of me when I was sick!!
