A Not So Fun Night in the E.R.

Well, for as good as our little boy has been he is not feeling so well today. This morning at about 2:45 a.m. he began to whimper as he slept, waking up his parents. We took several temperature readings and called our doctor( or the doctor who was on call - he actually supervises our NP who is Kenneths primary care provider). Our little guy was burning up at a tempurature of 103.4 degrees - so away we went to the hospital. Being that it was 3:30 in the morning by this point we were one of two other people that were being treated and we were admitted right away. Our little guy endured test after test. Our great nurse Fritz took urine, blood and snot samples to see what was going on. Happy to say for the time being everything is clear - primary test came back negative for anything, he has a shot of anti-biotic that they gave him before discharging us and he and mom are now home sleeping the day away - they both need their rest! We are awaiting the result of blood and urine cultures and should have the results by Friday morning-afternoon. Prayers for our little guy would be greatly appreciated, but we aren't expecting anything horribly shocking to come back from the tests. Love all of you and hope you are doing well.

Hey! Glad you found me! Didn't realize you had a blog. I must say, you have a handsome strapping son. He is getting so big! We need to have you guys over for dinner some time (Once your little one is doing better). Good luck with that. Nothing is so scary to me as when Tae gets sick. We haven't had that high a fever yet...
