Some of you may or may not know, but our little boy has had a terrible week! Walker started running a very high fever of 104 early Sunday morning. Jonathan took him to the ER at the hospital where I was working, and once he was in the exam room, he had a 5 minute seizure due to his high fever. At this time it was close to 105. He had several lab work drawn, a spinal tap, an IV started, a chest xray, the works. We were admitted and stayed for three days for antibiotic therapy and to closely monitor him. We had the absolute best care possible. The Doctors, nurses, general staff.....amazing. I couldn't be prouder of my colleages, and I know that Walker is only going to get better because of their care and attention. His doctor, Dr. Cooley, called me this morning and really thinks Walker has roseola, a virus that can cause all of the symptoms he has. Walker no longer has the fever and has a rash on the trunk of his body which is a great sign that the fever is over and he is on the mend. Our little boy gave us quite a scare. No pics of the hospitalization, just ones of the rash and him taking his morning nap in the best place of all....his crib!

Bless his heart, I've been wondering about you guys!! B always got a rash anytime she had a bad chest cold...weird? may have been the meds? but glad to know he's better, I've heard of kids having those fever seizures...ugh, scarey I'm sure. Makes it no better when you're a nurse I guess, when the patient is your own. B is throwing up here as the plague is making it's rounds in AL. Love ya, rock that baby!!!
