Today, Campbell woke up at 4:30 with 103.4 fever.  He went back to sleep after motrin and getting some fluids, but then woke up at 6:10 and was not happy.  I never do this, but I put him in bed with me to try to get him to go back to sleep.  And, he actually slept!  From 6:10 to 7:40 without stirring.  Poor little guy.

Then, he was really sick and congested today, and when I got home from work, he had chills and his lips were blue from being cold and his hands and feet were freezing, but his fever was up to 103.7!  I made an appointment to take him to after care, but they told me that if his fever went up I should take him to the ER instead.  Well, 30 minutes later, I checked him again on the way to the appointment, and he was up to 104.2!  So we went straight to the Baptist Women’s ER.  They were so great to him.  They got us in and out in under 2 hours including a chest x-ray (clear thankfully) and a flu and strep tests (also negative).  They think he has a bacterial sinus infection, so they sent us home with some antibiotics.  He was such a trooper for all the tests with only a few moments of tears!  When they swabbed his throat a bunch of gunk came out with it – I know he’s feeling terrible.  So we got home and took a bath and went straight to bed.

Here are some pictures of Campbell at the hospital.
