Kendall very sick
Just a quick update on what is going on with us. Saturday when I put Kendall down for his nap, he felt kind of warm to me and I took his temperature. It was 101. I gave him some tylenol and thought it was teething. That evening, it kept going up and up. It was up to 103. Sunday morning we woke up and he was doing a bit better, so we decided to head on to the family reunion that we had to go to. Bad mistake. We never made it there. Kendall's fever shot to 104 in the car, so we took him into the ER at a Children's Hospital in Chattanooga. They did blood work, a urine culture(that had to stick a catheter in). It came back as a UTI. When they took his temp the final time in the hospital it was 105 rectally! My baby was burning up. They gave him some more tylenol and a rocephin shot in each leg. His fever dropped, but still was hovering around 103. We came home and he was not drinking. He had 4 oz all day yesterday, so we called the dr. and they admitted him into the hospital. He is still there. His temp has dropped and he is doing so much better, eating almost normal. It did shoot up to 104 again this afternoon after it had been 99, so they did more blood work which came back a fever virus. They are growing out his urine culture to make sure it is nothing else. Daddy is staying with him tonight as I'm sick too with a terrible cold and got zero sleep last night. I'm absolutly beat. Please keep us in your prayers and I will check in when we get released.
