Well, we made it to Duke yesterday and he was kind of warm, but not registering a temperature when we got there for our visit, so we went ahead with his next dose and then got him ready for his blood draw. After about an hour, he started to warm up and we checked his temperature again and it was 99.8. Ugh. Under the protocol, he is not to have a dose when he has a fever. So, we kept a close eye on him. He was just sleepy and tired, but no other symptoms. He had no issues with that dose of peanut though, so that was a blessing. They were able to draw his blood without too much issue and then they gave him some Tylenol so that he would be more comfy for the ride home.
We came home and he was playing, but still feverish off and on the rest of the evening.
Today, he was still feverish this morning, so I gave him some Motrin and took him in to the doctor to have his ears checked...they looked clear, so likely it is just a virus running through him. He continued to be fevered this afternoon, so no peanut flour dose today. He can skip two days of doses without issue, but if we miss three days, then we would go back to Duke to give him that dose and have him monitored to make sure he is still fine with it. I am hoping that we just miss today's dose though. He is doing well now and is playing and eating normally, so I hope it gets out of his system tonight.
In other news, there are three kids in our trial whose IgE levels have dropped below 2 and they have been on maintenance over a year.....so, they are ready to food challenge!!! They will start in October. I am so excited and I cannot wait to hear how they do!!
Anyway, here's hoping that we kick this virus asap and can get back on our schedule! :)
