Jack...

As most of you know, Jack has been sick for a week now. Mostly just a snotty nose and fever, that we've been able to keep under control.

However, this morning, Brian and I woke to him SCREAMING at 5:30am. It was the type of scream that you know something is WRONG! We got him out of bed and he was sweating and just soaked. We immediately gave him Tylenol and a cool bath. Unfortunately, we were unable to get his fever down. :( So, we decided to take him to the ER. Luckily, Gig Harbor has just built a brand new beautiful hospital. We were there by 6:30 am, and the only patients... Thank Goodness. The Dr. was in before the nurse had even finished doing vitals, etc.
The Dr. said that there is a really bad virus going around, and that is what he thought Jack had. They gave him more Tylenol and Pedialite, and waited an hour to see if they could get the fever down. Which they were able to do! But, it was quite a morning for our poor little guy. He didn't want any of the Dr's near him, nor did he want to cooperate with any of the checking of his little body.
This afternoon he's been very fussy, but we are hoping and praying he's on the mend. He's a tough little man, but it's so hard to see him so sick!
Let's hope tomorrow brings health and sun! We are ready to get out of the house ... and do something fun!
