The 411: I heart Dr. Internet

by Alicia Crumley

I just took Fuller’s temperature and had to use the internet to figure out what his temperature actually is. Our ear thermometer somehow got switched from Fahrenheit to Celsius, so when the four beeps sound and I read “38.8″ I had no idea what that meant.

According to the website, Online Conversion, 38.8 C is roughly 101 F. My poor baby. He woke up didn’t immediately ask to go outside or have popcorn for breakfast. That should have been a sign right there. He hasn’t really eaten this morning, just picked at stuff.

I hope this goes away soon, or at least he falls asleep to rest a bit.

    That is neat that you found a conversion site!! My thermometer is acting funny this morning - darn thing! It’s really slow, and I’m not sure it’s accurate - Patrick is in bed, and feels to me to at least be slightly elevated, and the thermometer says 97.7 - strange.

    I hope Fuller is feeling better!!!
