Do you think this was leg cramps or part of the virus?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
TJ & Cody have a funky virus. Seems flu-like ... upset stomach, fevers around 100 degrees, nasty cold and cough. Been giving them a cough/cold med around the clock and lots of orange juice. since the fever doesn't seem to be slowing them down any, I haven't worried about Tylenol or Motrin.

Last night, TJ woke up crying, kicking his legs like crazy. We rubbed them and when that didn't work, finally put some Aspercreme type stuff on them. When that still didn't work, we gave him some Advil. He flopped around, kicked, and grabbed his legs for at least 2 hours before he finally zonked out.

This morning, he seems fine, so I'm not too concerned, but just wonder if there's anything I should be watching for? The fever is gone this morning and his cold symptoms seem to be getting better.

aww sounds like what I used to go through when I was little. Mom called them growing pains, but I was never convinced. I hope That's the last of his legs bothering him like that.
