Poor Carson

What a week!! Carson has been sick. It all started on Sunday night with a little fever. i just blamed it on teething and gave him Motrin and put him to bed. Then on Monday he slept literally ALL DAY. He didnt even want to wake up to eat. I had to work so Hill watched him. I went to pick him up and rubbed his head ( i always do) and his soft spot was swollen up. i came home and called my doctor and told her everything and she told us we needed to take him in. so we headed out and skipped Evanston and when to SLC. After out 3 1/2 hour wait in the ER, we got in. And like always when you get to the doctor his fever had broke,the lump was gone, and he was laughing. so i told her the story and she said that she would suggest blood work and some test. she was worried about meningitis, which was what my doctor said also. So we ended up with checking for a UTI, blood work, and worst a spinal tap. it was possibly and worst and longest night of out life. After all that they didnt find anything and so they gave him some antibiotics and sent us home. We got home at 8 Am and put carson to bed. I woke him up at 2 to eat. they were not looking good again, fever,sleepy,swollen soft spot. It all started again. i just was going to wait and see what he did when he started to throw up. it was AWFUL!!! so i called the doctor and we when in. Needless to say she thinks its just a stomach virus. We just have to wait it out. she also said that it spreads easy so we hope that the whole family wont get it. our poor couch, carpet, and me have all gotten a taste of our life of sick kids to come. im so glad that was all that it ended up being. needless to say a very long week.
