Paranoid Mama and the ER run!

HA HA now you know I am paranoid! Now that I have recovered from the night before last, I will tell you about it!

Well it all started on Thursday morning, Christian woke up with a fever of 101.5*. Well he has had that high of a temp before, so I gave him some Tylenol and went to the gym. We came home and played, he was acting normal. He played hard, and when I made him lunch he looked at it and started crying! He normally digs right into his corn dog when I cook that for him! So he did not eat lunch and so I took him upstairs to take his nap. After all he was crying and he just looked tired. There were no objections from him when I took him up there and said lay down and when you wake up GRANDMA WILL BE HERE!!!! He loves his grandma! skipping a few hours....He woke up from his nap and was really cuddly. He felt warm but not hot! Skipping a few more hours...by that evening however he was on fire! I gave him some Motrin drops this time and he just wanted to cuddle and did not want to eat. Oh he was drinking like there was no tomorrow, but not eating. He went to bed and I finished my Star Wars series! LOL and at 3am he came into my room coughing and wheezing with 104.5* temp! I freaked out and woke Jory up and said that we better take him the the ER. He said that I should just put him in a cold bath. I said you try and put him in a cold bath when it is 3am and he already has the chills! He said okay and I layed Christian down with Jory while I threw on something other than Pjs. By the time I got done brushing my teeth,( it only took me a minute to get dressed and brush my teeth) I went back into the room and Jory was sweating. He said this kid is HOT!!!! I said see why I want to take him to the ER!?!? We went to Menorah Medical Center, that is where he was born, and there was no one there! They were able to get him in right away! We saw a really nice doctor and he said that his body is just fighting off some kind of infection. I was worried it was Pneumonia or something like that! Thank God it wasn't. So basically I am a paranoid mama and we spent $100 for my peace of mind! Oh well he (the doctor) said that I did do the right thing. I have always been told if the fever reaches 104* to take them to the hospital. So that is what we did! Christian is STILL not feeling better, but he at least slept all night last night. Poor kid he has been so sick lately, and I just can't seem to make him feel better. He just likes to snuggle and so we have been doing a lot of that the last couple of days. I am so glad that I can be there for when he calls "Mama, Dadda, Mama" I love just sitting with him and he just lays his head down on my shoulder! I love being a mom! Nothing can take that good feeling away....until he does something bad!!! LOL So that is my story!
