First trip to the ER

Things were going ok until I was rubbing his bald head after he came up from a nap and it felt very hot!  I checked my "cancer book" to see what temperature I was suppose to call at and he was over that.  The doc told me to take him to the ER.  I gave him his antibiotics he was scheduled to have and took him in (after he threw up his dinner on the floor)....that reminds me, he probably doesn't have the antibiotics in his system now!  All they did for him at the ER was to give him an IV course of antibiotics and some Tylenol and Motrin.  His temp is still high, so I have to call the clinic in the a.m.  I was trying not to, but I lost it at the check in place (crying not yelling).  Scary stuff!

I'm sorry too. It sounds like it was very stressful and emotional. Nothing breaks your heart more than when your children are sick. I am thinking of you all of the time. We are fasting and praying for Jake today. Dinner will be coming on Tuesday for your family at 6:00 p.m. (Diana Ware and April West). We send your family our love.
