Well our first trip to the ER for Bryson turned into a weekend getaway to Centennial Medical Center.
Friday night Bryson came down with a fever of 102.6. We immediately called our doctor who told us to go straight to the ER. After having a chest x-ray and urine taken it was determined that Bryson had pneumonia....WHAT? Are you kidding me? I guess all the hand sanitizer in the world can't keep him from getting sick.
Dustin and I were doing OK with the whole situation until they started trying to get his IV in. After 6 failed attempts they called the pediatric nurse down, she failed so they determined the best course of action was to put the IV in his head. Our poor baby boy was SO upset with all the poking and prodding. He was crying, I was crying and Dustin looked like he was about to go thru the roof.
That was by far the worst part of the weekend. We were kept there until Sunday because he still had a fever as of Saturday afternoon. Had it not broken they were preparing us for doing a spinal tap on him. Our prayers were answered and we were released with a diagnosis of a viral infection.
For those of you that don't know the history of Ramsey's illnesses she is ALWAYS diagnosed with a viral infection that they can do nothing about. I guess both of my kids bodies will just spike a fever when they get sick....Tylenol, we never leave home without it. We know we are so blessed as it could have been much worse.
