Tulum day 4

Tulum day 4

Overnight, Robin got worse and he got a fever. He was burning up, so Peter and I gave him some panadol, stripped him down and made sure he was cool. He slept on and off, but was sick a few times and not a happy baby.

In the morning, we discussed taking him to the hospital or to a doctor, but his fever had gone down to about 37.4, and he seemed to be getting a bit better. We decided to keep him in the air conditioning, keep him cool, give him lots of fluids and monitor his temperature. We had the contact details for the locum on standby, but we didn’t really want to take him to a medical facility.

Over the day, he slowly improved and after his afternoon nap, woke up and his temp was back to normal. He was happy and not at all like the sick baby from the night before. It was a big relief.

Because he had been sick, we decided to pick up pizza for dinner, rather than taking him out for an extended period of time. Peter and I took him to the pizza restaurant, where Robin promptly charmed the staff & they asked to hold him. Hopefully he is better, and we can go exploring further tomorrow!
