Our family

It was eight years ago today that Matt asked for my hand in marriage. That was the start of a wonderful family. Who knew we would have 4 kids by now!

James is really sick. He started with a fever late Wednesday evening. Yesterday he was ok - just a low grade fever. Last night he woke up twice - once with a fever and the second time because he was cold and complained of pain in his back - it was his car he took to bed. When he woke up this morning at 6am he was breathing heavy and was shaking. I immediately took him to the Pediatric ER. They gave him motrin and a throat culture as he complained about his throat hurting. As we were waiting for doctors you could tell he was feeling better as he started to perk up. He didn't have a bowel movement yesterday so they thought he might be constipated. An x-ray confirmed that was the case and he had to have an enema. They said he is probably fighting something viral - the culture came back negative for strept to keep treating his fever with motrin and tylenol. He was fine until a little after lunch - which he didn't eat much of - he had a fever again. James, Patrick and Tommy are all napping now. Patrick has continued to get up before the crack of dawn so he was out just around 12:30. I'm hoping for a restful night but I'm sure not going to count on it. I hate that its the weekend because I'm going to have to decide before noon if he needs to see a doctor again - either that or its back to the ER or wait until Monday. I hope he starts to pull through this and that the other boys do not get it.
