Lay in bed shivering and trembling for over an hour. This is one of those good news bad news things. Bad news is a temperature is coming. Good news is the body is dealing with it. Sure enough. My temperature has soared to 38.7 overnight, and I am boiling. Devin has been looking after me, getting me soup, water, and whatever else I need. The fever breaks in the afternoon.
