Sickness...

This kiddo got sick the first Friday of school and missed the second week due to whatever kind of virus that took over!

He had fevers of 102.7-103.9 consistently for an entire week and was down for the count; we went to PCH ER to make sure it wasn't meningitis because he had all the symptoms...that experience was not very fun (parent-dr wise...I don't think they like me much...in all fairness, if the patient is a cardiac patient of your hospital and it's clearly stated in his history not to mention the parent told 3 people before his history and the Cardiologist of record is 2 floors above you and you tell me he has no medical history that would make his heart and/or blood pressure a concern...yeah I am gonna get pretty WTFish)…

Then the poor kid had to be tested for a few things to get some type of answer but everything came back negative, from strep, influenza, valley fever, mono...all the things but no answers.  We took him to Mercy Gilbert to get labs done and holy Lord Almighty, that was an event.  One of which, we laugh at now, but as my sister said, "if you ever wondered if the devil was in him, it definitely came out that day"...lol.  Let's just say he was not happy that dad, mom and his aunt were holding him down while the quietest and coolest tech poked him. The phrase of the experience was "get it out of me"... when we walked out of the room, the entire waiting area and employees looked at us like oh my gosh, what happened in there and were all sad for him.  The receptionist gave him a teddy bear that he is still attached too :)

Tyson gets annual cardiac check-ups and we were due to be seen at the end of August but with all that was going on an no answers they were able to push it up earlier and we went in on Friday.  This kid hates all things medical and has such a fear...we wish we could take it away.

But...THANKFULLY his hear is healthy and there is nothing to worry about where that is concerned.  It is the best news we've received in a long time!!

He now has a cold; along with the other little dude in the house so we just need all the germs to go away and the universe to calm itself and get back to normal!!
