Nolan Gets Admitted to the Hospital

Monday night Nolan got a small fever of 100.5—Of course since he is my fourth kids I thought it was no big deal. We went to bed and 4pm the next day he still had a fever. After calling four nurse lines and getting two different Dr. opinions (neither of them my primary Dr.) we followed the advice and took Nolan to Children’s Hospital ER. Of course I didn’t think we would be admitted to the hospital for the two weeks. Upon entering they gave him a full work up. Spinal tap – blood and urine tests and cultures- and RSV test and some other misc. work ups. And then admitted me for 24 to 48 hours until the results came back. After much consulting and chatting with several Dr. they decided to put him on antibiotics to treat him for Meningitus for fourteen days.

He doing exceptionally well though. It has been fun getting to know nurses and meet so many different Doctors. It has been an incredible humbling experience that make us appreciate all four of our healthy children.
