He’s running a high fever. Whimpers. Won’t smile at us. Just stares, and cries, and sleeps. Took him to the doctor this afternoon. Ears are good. Throat is fine. Lungs sound good. She wants to do bloodwork.
Two hours later we walk out with an exhausted little 4-month old, an exhausted 4-year old, and an exhausted mommy. They had to poke, prod and prick way too much for my liking. Couldn’t find a vein. Couldn’t get any urine from the catheter. Had to try again. No fun.
His white blood cell should be between 4 and 10. It’s 28.
He got an antibiotic shot.
We go back tomorrow afternoon to do more bloodwork. Hoping that number will have dropped.
In the meantime, we’re cuddling our baby. Putting our big boys to bed. And trying to recuperate from a very hard day.
