[blparent] talking thermometers?

[Pipi]

i've been doing cool compresses, rotating tylenol and motrin, and giving her 
warm baths vs. her normal hot bath. it was just one of those 4am moments 
where the thermometer decided it wasn't going to work anymore and i had no 
other options to take her temp. i knew it was high due to dealing with the 
virus for a couple of days now. just frustrating that i couldn't get an 
exact temp for my ability to keep track for myself.
