Hope you feel better soon!! Who took you guys out to lunch to such a nice place? my family - my great aunt pearl. she is 83 years old in her health is starting to fail but she'd never let you know. 4 years ago her husband, gene, passed from cancer. i never see her but i trust her and keep in contact with her. she would never ever tell anyone where i am!!!!! we were treated very well today. glad i didn't feel sick during lunch!!!! she lives a ways away so i really want to drive out there. i don't think she is going to make it for too long. when you don't have family - it was hard when gene died. and i couldn't go (pearl insisted i don't) to his funeral. she also said she'd haunt me if i go to hers. gotta love her!!! she said to go to church and light a candle for her. i think she would haunt me if i went!!! ;D

I hope you feel better soon. Kids are wonderful - and so intuitive. Mine sometimes just gives me a hug if he thinks I'm having a bad day. And your aunt sounds like a great woman. Having someone like that is truly a blessing.

Kallie is a sweetheart. And if your mom has a fever of 103 or over I would call a doctor. Charity, I hope you feel better, soon! Kallie, you're a very nice daughter. Call or go get a neighbor, if possible. Charity, get well.

It depends on how high and for how long and other symptoms. But basically if it's over 101 or 102 (and not caused by the flu), it's a rule of thumb that it is bacterial and would need antibiotics. Hope that helps. And I hope you feel better soon

see - they always give anti-bacterial when they don't know if needed and it sucks. i've been running a fevor slightly over 102!!!!! but lots of ibuprofen works wonders. only 4 OTC about q4hrs!!!!!! hey 800mg is a prescribed dose. i'll get better soon enough. and really - who doesn't get sick once n a while?
amy - that was cute - thanx

Charity, personally I usually give it 2 or 3 days for myself. If it doesn't go away then I call the doc. I hate taking meds, but sometimes it was the only way to get better. That's what sucked about my whole throat thing - I was on antibiotics so much my MD just gave me refills so I could take them when I felt I needed them.
