As I posted yesterday we got discharged from Children's because the doctors did not think that he had Kawasaki's disease, however; they wanted us to keep watching him. Yesterday he woke up from his nap "sick" again with another fever and not feeling well. We gave him Tylenol and he took another nap before dinner and then ate a big dinner had a bath and went back to bed and slept 12 hours. He woke up not feeling well, but perked up a little later in the morning and never did have a fever at all. We then had a follow up this morning with the pediatrician and he was doing well and seemed in good spirits. He even told me that he wanted to go back to the Hospital so he could watch TV in bed and eat bacon! What a funny boy! I told the doctor I wouldn't believe that he was well until he woke up from a nap without a fever. She did hear some rattling in his lungs so we got an X-ray which turned out negative for pneumonia. She wasn't sure what to think but said to call if he had a temperature when he woke up from his nap.
Sadly, he woke up with a 102.5 temperature again today. Which makes day 5 of waking up with a temp over 101, and day 9 with waking up with a temperature at all! I called his the doctor that we saw today and she has phone calls in to Cardiology and infectious disease at Children's and is waiting to hear back regarding their recommendations.
At this point I am getting a little concerned for him. it seems like a long time to be sick and have a fever. Please be praying that we get to the bottom of this or that it just resolves (if it truly is a virus that is still running it's course)very quickly! I just wanted to send out an update so people know to still be praying for him. I hope it's nothing at all! Thanks!
