I have spoken with our pediatrician twice since the earlier post. Apparently, the concern with chronic fever of unknown origin in heart babies is that they are vulnerable to infectious endocarditis. I checked Wren's temperature this afternoon and it was only 100.4 after the Tylenol wore off as a result the Ped did not order blood cultures.
If it is 103 or above overnight we are to take Wren to the Children's Outpatient clinic tomorrow.
She felt that unless the fever was higher it was unlikely to be "very concerning".
I am not really reassured. I am still concerned.

i hope he is fever free soon!
So, did his fever finally break??? I have been worried all weekend long for you guys!
Hope he is doing better, and that you are a bit more relaxed as well.
Hugs,

Hi Samantha and Wyndi
Thanks for asking after Wren. He is doing better but whatever it is is still bothering him.
Today he had little or no fever but was still cranky. Yesterday he had a fever off and on all day.
We are going to take him to the doc tomorrow just for another once over.
