Liam’s Trip to the Emergency Room

Well, Liam has had a rough couple of weeks of sickness that culminated in a trip to the emergency room last night at 8pm. After throwing up a couple of times at day care, I picked him up and took him home. He was so lethargic it was scary. No matter what I did I couldn’t get the little guy to smile…and that just isn’t like him at all. His temperature spiked to just under 105 and I called the nurse. I worked hard to get his fever down with a cool bath but when that did not work, she told me to head to the ER. After throwing up on the doctor, he bravely endured the nurse putting an iv into his little arm (it took them 30 minutes to find a vein because he was so dehydrated). Mom, dad, Grandpa Teddy and Grandma Stephanie watched as they pumped fluid and anti-nausea medicine into his limp little body. It was heartbreaking. He was so good though and even endured a chest x-ray where dad had to prop him up on a wooden chair. We took him home around midnight and he is still not feeling his greatest. We are just hoping he will be better by this weekend so he can have the energy to keep up with his cousin Samir.
