My six-year-old son had a T&A Tuesday. Since then, he has only drank about 20 ounces. His is still urinating thankfully. Yesterday, he ran a low-grade fever up to 100.6. This morning around 6 his fever was 102.7 axillary. He also has a wet-sounding cough. He is very tired due to the Lortab he is taking and when he is awake, he has no real interest in drinking. I have a freezer full of frozen pops, italian ices, and ice cream, not to mention lots of jello, apple juice, and ginger ale.
This is my first time dealing with a child who has had a T&A. We saw the doctor this morning and he did not seem too concerned about the fever and said it was just normal. He told him he has to drink, which I have told him over and over and over again. I don't know what to do. I'm worried he will get dehydrated or even get pneumonia.
If anyone has any experience with their children who have had a T&A I'd really appreciate any advice you could give me.

New dog pickup is Tuesday!
They say it's a done deal and I apparently am going to need to find the shelter 2 towns away (it will be character building for my fear of getting lost) and pick him up. He has to be neutered before then, poor baby! But I don't have to pay the bill because the rescue pays it. Yay!
Wonder how long those male hormones will be in his system. This is going to be interesting! I hope he likes Sasha and she likes him.
I need to clean the kennel that's in the garage so he can sleep in there. No telling what kind of mischief might be usual for him. My life is about to get interesting, LOL.
Oh I hope he's a talker. Woo woo!
Oh, and the rescue hasn't had good luck with the name I was thinking of (Juneau), so I was thinking of Cedric. It means First Choice or Loved, and it is also a name from Harry Potter.
Do you like it for a Siberian?
It's on CMT, Tuesday nights at around 9 or 10:00.
Hosted by John Rich. Last season they had Bobby Brown, Carnie Wilson, Maureen McCormack, Julio Iglesias, Jr., Diana Digarmo from American Idol, and some other people I can't remember. They live together and have to write a a country song and perform it before an audience. Julio won.
This season there's Sean Young (crazy), Lorenzo Lamas, Jermaine Jackson, Irene Cara, some girl from American Idol, and two other guys I've never heard of. They all live in a house together to learn to write a country song and then they have to perform it before a live audience.
I am going in on Tuesday to get looked at - sm
and no, I do not want any more kids so hoping it is menopause going crazy all of a sudden. DH has been wanting me to get a TL for ages (and of course he won't get a vasectomy, one of those guys) but I was not ready to do that at 38....still at 43 I just don't want to do it, but not because I want more kids just all the horror stories, was thinking about an IUD or Essure (but did not want metal coils in me in case I ever needed a MRI since Essure is permanent) actually but now I might not have to worry about that either. I will get the exam and biopsy and see how it all goes, one step at a time, not going to work myself into a tizzy about it, no point.
