Tylenol didn't put a dent in their fevers. I don't remember what bacterial infections they had. Since they would get real hot again before they could have more Motrin, I dipped my fingers in a bowl of warm water and rubbed it over their bare skin. The water quickly evaporated and kept them from overheating. But man, I lost a lot of sleep when my kids were little. My dear wife was such a basket case when my kids got real sick that I had to be the one to stay up with them. I'm the calm one in our marriage.
