Sick and Tired

So, it's been a long few days. On Sunday night, Jadyn had thrown up in his bed but no fever Monday morning.  He slept most of the day but then after nap had a fever. I called the doc since he was miserable, one of his tubes is blocked, and he hadn't eaten or drank a thing all day. I was sure he had an ear infection. Went to the ped, ears looked fine, strep test neg, flu test neg, but white blood count super high.  She was concerned and sent us directly to ER for more lab tests.  She said she was calling them and letting them know we were on the way. I assumed that would speed up the process - no not at all!!! We were there from 5:30 - 11:30. The ER doctor and nurse were not good peds people.  They expected my 2 year old to pee in a cup!  I understand that some 2 year olds are potty trained and mine is not but they really expected a kid who has only peed once the entire day to pee on command in a cup.  I knew and didn't like the alternative so we tried and nothing. They had to do the catheter. I thought Ivan was going to pass out. So, they also did a chest Xray, blood work, and 2 hours of fluids.  He really did need the fluids. Halfway during fluids, he broke out in hives all over. They gave some benadryl and it was better. So the result - nothing.  Everything looked okay, thank goodness.

On Tuesday, went back to ped.  She seemed happy with results and decided to wait a few days and see if he still has fever. Well Tuesday and Wednesday, his fever has been around the 102.3 mark under his arm and you are suppose to add 1.  Nice, 103 most of the time. The motrin is really working though. About 30 minutes after taking it, he is like a new kid. He gets a burst of energy and will eat a little bit.  But then, he totally crashes and is miserable and just wants to lay there. The good thing is that he is finally drinking.  He is crazy thirsty. I guess his body is trying really hard to get him hydrated. Tonight is no different.  He woke up about an hour ago burning up AND hives again! Of course, I didn't have a full dose of benadryl left and I am not getting it right now. Hopefully a third of a dose will help some! So, we will probably be back at the ped tomorrow.

To make things worse, Ivan woke up with a horrible migraine today. So, he called me home from work this morning.

We are all so tired! I just hope his fever breaks soon and that me and Ivan don't get whatever this is.

Hope this post makes sense...
