Kiddo #2 Update

I have had a few people ask how kiddo #2 is doing. I want to thank you all for your concern and your prayers! It's comforting knowing that there have been people out there praying for him.

So, now for the update....
Let's see, the last post was on Monday. We took him to the doctor on Tuesday just to find out that he had "some sort of virus" and was dehydrated but, not quite to the point of needing an IV. There was nothing we could do other than keep the fever down as much as possible and try to get him to take some liquids. He was required to use the potty by 4:00 that afternoon in order to stay out of the hospital....he finally peed at 3:45! He ended up back in the Dr.'s office later that afternoon, though because he started getting a little delirious from the fever, that was a bit scary. The fever FINALLY broke last Friday afternoon and it has not come back. He is no longer hovering on the edge of dehydration and hospitalization. He has some lingering fatigue which worries me a bit. He has not returned to his normal high energy, rambunctious self. He is eating and drinking more but, again, not back to normal yet. I am considering taking him back to the Dr. but, I don't know that they can do anything for him so, have not made the decision to return yet. If he is not closer to normal by Monday we will be heading back in to see Dr. Jim.

So far, everybody else has remained healthy. I am probably speaking too soon but, it is possible that we have avoided spreading this nasty little virus.
