Hubby Down with Fever

My darling's body temperature did not barge from the 39.5 degrees on the thermometer. It's kinda worrying. I had done all that needed to be done to make the temp go down, yet all the attempts failed. I sponged him with icy water, gave him barley juice, make him eat up his medicine, which he got off from his visits to the polyclinic,and nothing works. I am at my wits end so, i decided to wake daddy up an hour ago and asked him for help. Daddy sponged him again and did it continously after every 15 minutes interval. When the results on the thermometer showed the same scaring number, daddy told him to take a cold bath beginning from his feet upwards. My hubby did just that. Now, he is takin a rest while i wait on for the next 15 mins to take on his temperature again. If the temperature just refuses to go down the scale, we will have to make a trip down to the hospital. I shall not wait on any further and repeating the agony of sponging him with icy water. Let the doctors do the job in makin him feel better. I am feeling truly tired right now as it was a pretty long day for me. I woke up as early as 8am and start doing my chores as both wife and a mother. Have not had a wink of rest till now. I had to be on the blog as to focused myself onto doing something in order to avoid myself from dozing off to sleep. But i know myself. I won't be able to sleep even if i tried to. It just kills me to see my hubby the way he is in right now. And as i typed all this down, tears starts rolling down my cheeks. I love him too dearly to let him be in pain. I can't take the fact that i wasn't able to relieve him from his fever clutches. All i can do is hoped and prayed that his temperature will subside. And i guess it's time for me to take his temperature again. If you do not hear from me within the next 24hours, it has to be that i'm in the hospital with my honey bunny. Please do pray on my behalf that he will be fine and it was just a fever and nothing more worrying. INSYA ALLAH. Till we meet again.
