My poor sweet child

I know I am so mean - taking pictures of him while he is sick in the hospital! This was before they put the fluid in - they started the pick line and then drew blood then of course started the medicine later with the fluids. He was so sad! My heart just ached for him! I was so scary!

Begging to go home! Okay so last night we had a scare that a mother should not have. Zeke woke up from a nap with a fever of 106. I was so scared, so we rushed him to St. Mark's hospital (1st mistake) than luckily his fever was down a few degrees when we got there. It had dropped to 103.5. I had cool air on him in the car. So they gave him some Tylenol and Motrin and his fever only came down to 102.3, but at least it came down. So then Mark and I said we just paid $75 for them to give him Tylenol and Motrin. Well eventually, they came in and finally ran some tests and couldn't fine anything. HE was so mad, because they gave him an IV and he DID NOT like the shot of all that going into his poor sweet little arm. I was trying to bribe him, take his mind off of it. It was so hard. But finally literally we were there for 5 hours, but the ER doctor had to call the pediatrician's office and of course had to talk to the on call doctor, which he is the one who finally gave her instructions on what to do. (Another RED flag - when the ER doctor has to call someone else to find out what to do...Run) Anyway so at the end of the night poor sweet Zeke had enough and was so tired. One of the good things they did was give him fluids (that's what took the fever down to 99.9) and give him an antibiotic. So today we have been watching him like crazy and praying for him to do better. HE still has a high fever and now is in bed sleeping, but it's so hard to watch him be so sick and not know what to do. I am so thankful though for all of the love and support we have felt today (Sunday) from all of our sweet friends in the Ward. Thank you! Tomorrow we go see his pediatrician. Yeah!!! Hopefully for them to help us. I am really just grateful that it wasn't worse.

WE LOVE YOU ZEKE AND HOPE YOU GET FEELING BETTER SOON!
