Steven's in the hospital....

Our poor little guy got pretty sick Sunday evening after we returned from visiting Jordan and Becca in Delaware. He had been battling some cold/allergy type symptoms for a few days with watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing and cough. But by Sunday evening he spiked a pretty high fever and that night and following Monday morning his fever had failed to reduce lower than 102.5 and respond to medicine and by mid afternoon Monday morning it was at 104.3 and climbing, so we were advised by his specialists to bring him to the ER right away. Steve was feeling pretty bad and him and Isaak were kept at the ER as they ran tests for ten hours until they eventually transferred him to Walter Reed for closer monitoring and additional testing. 

Poor guy in the ER....

Thankfully Isaak was able to stay with him Monday through Tuesday afternoon, and then I arrived and relieved him so he could go to work. 

Tuesday late afternoon when I finally arrived Steven was feeling a bit better. I brought a few more toys to help occupy his time. So I let him out of his bed for a while and we kicked a ball around the room and played some soccer, and then had an impromptu dance party on his keyboard. We had a good time. I think he was glad just to be out of bed! It's not easy for a five year old to be confined to bed all day. After two nights of feeling terrible and a fit full nights sleep, Steve slept the whole night through and got a great night's rest (I wish I could say the same but that pull out chair was painfully lumpy and by 4:45am I gave up on trying to sleep. There is a rocking chair that I have my sights set on for tonight though, hoping it will offer a bit more comfort!).

Me and Stevie boy will be up here the next two days while the doctors await the rest of his tests to return. He has an infection of some kind, somewhere in his body. But they have yet to narrow down exactly what and where it is. So hopefully they will be able to determine exactly what is going on in the next day so we can get home soon!
