This poor little guy ended up in the Emergency Room again this morning. He wasn't getting any better and he woke up with a fever of 103.6. Daniel had to go to school which left me to do this trip solo.
We had a lot of tests to run today so we spent a lot of time waiting. This was when stickers became my new best friend! The worse part of the day was getting him a chest x-ray. They had to strap him down (literally strap him down with his arms over his head) in this machine that looked like a tube. He was so scared and I had to leave the room because I'm pregnant and I could hear him screaming the whole time. Of all the days for Daniel not to come with me!! I was holding back tears the whole time.
After many hours of tests and breathing treatments they finally came back and told me that he has Pneumonia AND RSV. They told me to keep a close watch on him for the next 48 hours and if he spikes a fever again then he'll have to be hospitalized. I really hope it doesn't come down to that. Keep sending positive vibes towards John!!

That top picture makes me want to CRY. He will be in my prayers.
At least he hasn't had seizures like Alyssa had at that age when she got that sick! (...that probably doesn't help, does it?) Poor guy. I really hope he feels better soon. I totally feel your pain with the x-ray thing. You should have seen me when the ER was running a million tests on Alyssa. They had to take spinal fluid from her, and I had to leave the room because I was an ABSOLUTE mess. I couldn't stop bawling. So way to be touch for your little guy!
Poor little guy! We're praying for him. Please, please, PLEASE call me if you need help in the morning/afternoon. I don't have to leave for work until 2:00. Don't be afraid to call! Love you!
