Who needed the ER????? Are they all right?? Are you alright???

DS..came home with a fever of 101.5, but by 10pm, even after taking meds, it was up to 104.7! DH and I grilled him until he was angry with us to make sure that he hadn't eaten anything that he wasn't supposed to have (last time his temp was this high was his atypical allergic reaction!). It took from 1015pm until midnight to get him back to the actual ER to be seen, and from then until 140am for the doctor to come and look at him <sigh>. They didn't take any bloodwork or anything, just said keep giving him tylenol and motrin and send him back to school...yeah right.

He stayed home thursday and friday morning, it was back up to 103.7 and we went into the walk-in hours at his docs office.....same thing..did a strep culture (negative) ordered a chest xray (fine) and left him at that. His regular doc said that there is a virus going around that nobody has been able to pinpoint as to it's exact cause, but it includes high fever, runny stools, and body aches....and that is usually lasts around 5 days. So, Thomas may not go to school on Monday either if it hasn't broken by then.

Bek isn't sick yet, but both Ken and I are feeling a little off....oh well, we are parents, we are strong....we are really flippin' tired!!
