and they are not low grade fevers the highest ones are at 40.4, the lowest at 38.4

he has been having fevers way before i started this diary

I have started a fever diary awhile ago but after he had his second febrile convulsion

his first was in June 2006

july 20th to date has gastro right now and we are waiting for the fevers to kick in

yep fevers  kicked in now ,39.4 here we go again

August,24th fevers started again

Sept 16th fevers

had all the blood tests came back nomal the urine normal ammune system normal

hes not in child care or play groups hes not outside a great deal

when he is shopping with us we dont let him go to touch toys etc,, always having wipes on hand to clean him .

always changing dummys before they get old and the teats off his bottle

now we have been told to keep up the diary for another 6 months and go back to the specialist cause they have no idea

I was told in the beginning this is not normal for him getting so many fevers

then when the test results came back normal i was then told that thats what lots of babys have lots  and lots of fevers

contradicting everything he had said in the first place

Wow that's incredible! I can't believe the doctors aren't looking into it more.  You would think that this would be of interest to doctors enough for them to want to know what it's from.  That's not normal, and it's stupid if they think a mother would believe it is.  I've worked in childcare for a decade and have not come across it before.  Good on you for not believing them.  Keep up the good work, keep fighting for your son.

How stressful this must be for you.  You are doing a great job and you are so organised keeping a diary.  I hope you get the answers soon so that you can stop stressing!

Take care!
