Sick....

I guess I was really hopeful when I thought maybe, just maybe, we'd make it out of the cold/flu season with none of us getting sick.  On Monday Christian started a fever....started out low grade, but picked up quickly throughout the day.  I checked his temp once more before he went to bed that night and it was 101.9.  So to bed he went and I kept checking him throughout the night.  He slept all night but the fever was still there.  He woke up early Tuesday morning, checked his temp again and it was 102.6.  I decided I'd be better safe than sorry and take him in to be seen by his doc.  Unfortunately when the doc saw him the first words out of her mouth was FLU.  So they did a flu test and told us to check for results around 3:00.  Well, 3:00 came and went and so did 6:00pm.  If he did have the flu they wanted to start him on Tamaflu....our pharmacy closed at 7:00 so we had to make the decision to go get the Tamaflu before the pharmacy closed in the chance his test came back positive.  Now it's 8:00pm and I check the lab results for the 1500th time that day and yes, the result were finally back.  NEGATIVE!  A relief for sure, but still a sick baby.  

Now it's 7:30 this morning (Wednesday). Christian wakes up at 7:30 from sleeping all night.  I take his temp since he's still a little oven and now it's 103.  I called the nurse line and they said it's okay to wait another couple days before we bring him back, unless of course he has new symptoms or can't breath.

So prayers all around that the rest of us don't get what Christian has and also that Christian gets better soon.  These high temps make this mama very worried.
