Our weekend was good, but the movie was not...LOL...
anyway on the way home from the movie Rondell (my youngest)
Started getting all red and feverish, By the time we got back home with him he was covered in a reddish purple rash from head to toe and just lifeless...So we went straight to the E. R with him. His fever was 101.7 when we got there and within an hour had went right on up to 102.0 I was getting really scared and worried....
Finally they done some blood work on him, which came back showing he had strep throat which had spread into his blood system....Strep throat?OMG he had absolutely no prior signs to being sick, in fact at the movies he was hyper and playing and having a blast....This all hit him in a matter of minutes.
His blood test also showed he was dehydrated, Which I had noticed he wasn't wanting to eat very much when we was out....but other than that I had not seen any changes in his appetite or fluid intake.
Well my baby was one very sick little boy...and they was threatening to admit him in the hospital if his fever didn't go down and stay down, but it just kept going up....So they put an IV in him....OMG...It broke my heart to see his little tiny hand with that big needle in it, and he took it all so bravely, he didn't even shed a tear...but he was scared, I could see it in his eyes....and he didn't want me out of his sight.
Well after about 2 1/2 hours with the IV his fever started going down, and the rash turned from a purple color to a pink color. So they started considering letting him come home on medications....His rash making him very uncomfortable and he was in pain so they added some pain meds into his IV which knocked him out like a light....Joe had to carry him out to the car, and from the car to the house and then to bed...LOL and he slept like a rock all the way up until around 11:00 this morning.
He's been doing good all day, until now and he is starting to get a fever again and the rash is turning back into the purple color...I just gave him his medicine and im praying he isn't getting worse on me again. I managed to get a lot of fluid down him today...but im so afraid he might end up in the hospital.
Seeing one of my babies so sick just breaks my heart.
I hope your little one is all right! Fevers are very scary especially when they get that high
My grandson seems to run hot when he gets sick.take care I'll stop by later to see how he is.BUB_BYE 4 NOW
