Hot in San Diego

The fires aren't the only thing that's warm in San Diego. Andrew's still dealing with his fever, and has been up and down all day. It hasn't gotten dangerous, but it's definitely making him uncomfortable. They've done blood tests that show his white blood cell count is normal, as is the level of a protein that indicates infection....they're investigating whether he might be teething, but the indications so far aren't pointing that way. Right now his temperature is normal, and they'll be giving him prophylactic Tylenol and Motrin throughout the night....they want to make sure he gets a good night's sleep.

Today his sprint lasted from 10am to 4pm....he seemed to be doing fine on it, so the doctor let it continue indefinitely. They only stopped because he was still getting upset from the fever. They're sticking to the two hour sprints tonight, which means he'll end up with a total of 10 hours for the day.
