Things looked up yesterday in the illness department in our family. And this morning things took another scary turn. Baby didn't wake up. I went in to wake him up and he just looked at me and fell asleep again. To the doctor we went... More blood work, a nose swab, more motrin for a 104 almost fever.
Now the doctor is thinking viral infection. She said as long as we could make sure he would drink we wouldn't have to have him admitted. So I keep waking him up and forcing the bottle in his mouth. I even went back to a bottle because it is a comfort thing for him, he hasn't used one in a month or so.
So please pray for us that we can keep his fluid levels up high enough and the fever down enough that he won't have to go to the hospital. This is apparently quite contagious, so please also pray that Austin stays healthy and that Daniel and I stay well to take care of our boys.
My mom is coming in tomorrow. I am so thankful for that right about now. I'm looking forward to the extra help. I'm feeling quite tired after the sleepless nights associated with making sure your baby is ok.
We appreciate all the prayer support and support our friends and family have given us through this. It has been quite a scary time for us. Love to you all!
