It was been a whirl wind of a week! To start, I've had an upper respiratory infection all week long. Well Thursday night we noticed that Cole had a fever. Dal called the Dr.'s answering service and the nurse said to take him to Children's Hospital asap.
Once we got to Children's the Dr. explained that they take fevers VERY seriously for infants only 8 weeks old and haven't had their immunization shots. Poor Cole had to undergo a catheter, an iv, and even a spinal tap. They wanted to make sure he didn't have a viral or bacterial infection or meningitis. Thankfully he didn't, so it turns out that he probably caught what I had all week long. I hate that he had to go through all that, but I'm thankful for the outcome. Now we are dealing with a very fussy baby...it's obvious he doesn't feel good. I just hope my little boy gets to feeling better soon!
On a different note, please keep my brother, Brent, in your prayers. He lives in Houston and is dealing with the wrath of Ike. Houston was NOT under a mandatory evacuation and Brent said there was no way to evacuate because of all people that were ordered to leave from the Galvestan area, etc. He just bought a beautiful townhome (he had not even moved in yet) and it had some damage. It will be a long road for lots of Texans.
