Father's Day "Fun"

Today was interesting to say the least. Corgan was really not doing well this morning and we couldn't get his fever down so I finally had had enough and took him to the ER. Why is it that kids ALWAYS get sick on the weekends? We went to the hospital across the street (how convenient is that?!) and got right through. I guess not many people have emergencies on a beautiful Sunday morning that just so happens to be Father's Day. Corgan's fever was 102.1, and that was AFTER having a full dose of Tylenol about an hour before. Poor little guy! You could just tell he felt crappy. The doctor and nurses were all really really nice and thorough. Corgan has "nasopharyngitis" which means a sore throat and swollen glands. They checked his urine to make sure he wasn't dehydrated and THAT was a lot of fun. Ugh. Travis and I had to hold him down while two nurses did a catheter. Poor guy. He was being poked and prodded in every orifice in his body. The last time the nurse came in to check his temp he started screaming. I don't think he likes nurses so much any more....



After about four hours at the hospital we finally got the green light to come home. I was so grateful that they didn't have to give him an IV to get him hydrated. He's been drinking a lot better this afternoon and evening and has even eaten a little bit! He's on an antibiotic and prescription Motrin so hopefully he'll be better soon. When we got home he put a bowl on his head and was running around the house, so I think he'll make it!



He took a nap this afternoon and when he woke up he was miserable again. If we can just keep his fever down I think he'll be fine. I'm going to call his pediatrician tomorrow and let them know we went to the ER yesterday and see if they want to check him out. The more people that look him over the better!

I was supposed to go to Paris to work tomorrow, but we'll see how Corgan's feeling. I'll probably just let him sleep in and then head over there later in the day. Travis is going to be out of town until Wednesday evening since he's flying to Stamford for work.

That pretty much sums up our crazy Father's Day Adventure!!! Hopefully next year will be more fun and less eventful!
