But ninjas flip out like mammals.
Unless they are turtles.
Ninjas ARE mammals. Don't take my word for it: Real Ultimate POWER.

Oh Sean, I'm so sorry. As brutal as it feels, you may want to put her in a cold bath to force her body temp down. I'm at work today, but let me know if there's anything Drew or I can do for you guys later.

{{{Sean & S}}} Tons of fever~ma. I really hope she doesn't have to be admitted again.

I'm back from my appointment and stuffed full of bad for me fast food goodness. I really should stop doing that, but it seems to be a requirement for Wednesdays.

ION, I have a painful, red, bumpy under-the-bra strap-rash. AIFS.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Sean, have you tried putting a set of sheets in the freezer for an hour or two? Might be more comfortable than a cold bath.

What is even happening?
I've put in a call both to her primary doctor and my mother the nurse.Good. I know she doesn't want to go back to the hospital, and hopefully it won't come to that, but that's a high fever for an adult, and if it's not be responsive to those things you can do for her -- well I don't know what my point was other than that I'm glad you've called her doctor and your mom.
How is your mom, by the way?
And now that I'm at my desk at work like a grown-up, my arms are hungry and my lips keep reaching for the top of her head and her hands and the crook of her neck, and she's not there.
One of my Nana's favorite aphorisms about parenthood was: In your arms, your arms ache. Out of your arms, your heart aches.

Not cold -- that can cause shivering which can raise the fever back up, and is so uncomfortable. Luke warm. It's still way cooler than body temperature, which along with letting the water evaporate when she gets out, to cool the blood, is the main thing.
I wouldn't do the bath with an adult, though. A sponge bath/wiping her down with a washcloth will do the same thing.

I second Cindy's suggestion, and add the suggestion of buying popsicles, which have the double benefits of cooling you off and getting liquids into you.
