Oh no, high temperature again

After Raphael's snooze yesterday he woke up very groggy, he slumped in my arms all afternoon and evening. We took his temperature at 39.1 degrees and so we called the home care nurse. She came to have a look at him and after further consultation with an intensivist we gave him some Paracetamol and waited till the morning.

Last night was the best night's sleep that we have had in a very long time there were no alarms (apart from the morning NGT of course) and his saturations were 97%-100% all night. He woke up in the morning back to his usual self.

The home care nurse came again to check him out in the morning and after measuring no significant temperature she took a nasal secretion specimen from him for analysis. We expect the results to be available in a couple of days.
