Have you heard of PFAPA, had a child with it or know someone who has? They think my 5 year old may have it. He gets a REALLY high fever about every 5 weeks...no other symptoms just a really high fever that lasts about 3 days. I took him to the doctor today and spent a few hours there...testing for this and that....

The doctor's office has to have SIX reoccuring episodes on file before they can officially diagnose him and we can start talking about treatment options.

Today his fever was 105...the highest yet. It came down to 101 but shot right back up to 105 this evening. The fever comes so quickly and goes away just as fast. It's not contagious which explains why no one else in the house ever gets sick when Jason has been "sick".

I just want my baby to feel better and I hate that I can't make this go away. IF this is what he has...he could have episodes until he hits puberty......sigh.....
