I am surviving.
Well I thought I had heat stroke, but after feeling better, and then fighting a 104 fever all saturday night. I was still convinced, until my daughter woke up, and I staggered into her room to feel it warm, and her also burning up. She was at 104.5, and we immediately changed her and got her into a cool shower. My wife got ready and meet her dad at the er, and my brothers came to get me. They are trained medics so they popped me in two bags on a Iv and got me down to 98. They left, but the fever did not, it came back 2 hours later, and I ended up having it for 2.5 days. Thank goodness my daughter got better quicker, but I am legitimately cooked. My head hurts, hard to focus, and at one point I counted like 8 showers per day. It was the most sick I have ever been, and still not sure what it was. The one funny part of this all was I was literally so hot that when I dumped cool water over my skin, as it dried it started to steam off. It started to fog the mirror. O and ya there was all the gross stuff too like the runs and puking every 30 minutes. Well I am on the upward trajectory, but only 50% of the way... Just keep swimming.
