Ca chauffe...

Heating up...

Sorry for not blogging recently... The title here means a couple things. First, we got a new heater! The old one completely broke (it was 20 years old). And, yes, for you would like to visit during the long Californian summer, we also got air conditioning!

Second, Evan had a fever again. Last night around 11pm it was 105.5 (40.8 celcius). I was so worried. Even more so than when his fever was 106 a couple weeks ago. I don't know why. I just held him (talk about a heater!) and waited an hour to see if the baby motrin had worked. Sure enough, his fever went down a couple degrees but 103.5 is still pretty high. I just kept wondering, maybe I was too calm before, maybe we should take him to the ER like so many other parents do.... I recently read on my company's blog a story about parents who rushed to the ER because of their daughter's 102 degree temperature (38.9 celcius). As Jean-Robert says, though, we have done a good job so far--we are reasonable people and Evan is fine.

Thankfully, his fever was gone in the morning. Right now he's running around happily, full of energy.

Yesterday, we went to the Left Bank, so that JR could satisfy his craving for steak tartare (for those Americans who don't know what this is, it's raw ground beef with a raw egg on top). Evan had a grilled cheese and french fries. Although he had a slight fever yesterday, Evan was happy as we ate in the restaurant and did a little shopping.

Evan's grimace-smile and Mommy's equivalent:After he eats, Evan sometimes grabs my hand and rests his head on my palm.* * * * *

Desolee de n'avoir pas fait des blog recement. Le titre de ce blog veut dire deux choses. Premiere chose, on a un nouvel chauffage! Le vieux est tombe en panne (il avait 20 ans). Et, oui, pour vous qui voudriez nous visiter pendant le long ete californien, on a aussi la clime!

Seconde chose, Evan avait une fievre encore. Hier soir a 23h, c'etait 40.8. Je m'inquietais beaucoup. Meme plus qu'il y a deux semaines quand il avait une fiever de 41. Je ne sais pas pourquoi. Je le tenais (quel petit chauffage!) et on a attendu une heure pour voir si le medicament marchait. Bien sur, la fievre a baisse, a 39.7, mais c'est encore chaud. Je me demandais, peut-etre j'etais trop calme avant, peut-etre on devrait l'emmener aux urgence, comme beaucoup de parents le font. J'ai lu recemment une histoire sur le blog de ma companie, ou les parents ont emmener leur fille aux urgence a cause d'une fievre de 38.9. Mais, comme dit Jean-Robert, on a bien fait, on est raisonable et Evan va tres bien.

Heureusement, Evan n'avait pas une fievre ce matin. Maintenent, il court partout, content et plein d'energie.

Hier, on est alle au Left Bank, pour que J-R puisse satisfaire ses envies de steak tartare. Evan a mange un sandwich fromage et des frites. Meme s'il avait une petite fievre hier, il etait content pendant notre sortie.
