Much happier with Elmo online, INSIDE!

We are back in Florida...would love to say home, but we needed to make a pit stop in Tallahassee. Wes' fever spiked 104.3 the night he was discharged from Children's in Chicago. We gave him tylenol and worked it down. That morning when we woke up to fly out, his fever was down and he seemed to be feeling better as he ran and jumped at the terminal in Chicago...not the case as we landed in Atlanta. I made a call to Dr. Curry, She felt he needed to make a stop at the ER in Tallahassee. She was concerned his fever would spike again or develop breathing issues once we arrived home. The ER doc was reluctant to admit him, but after he talked with Dr. Curry and MAAAAAAAAAAAAANY hours of waiting in the ER he got a room at 2am.
This morning was looking promising for discharge tomorrow. They want him fever free for 24 hours and he had not had a fever since last night, 102. After the docs left he vomited twice and fever spiked, 103.3, so it will be a wait and see how he does with the iv ab's today and overnight. His new chest x-ray last night did not really show much change.
As for now, he has had some tylenol and watching ELMO, of course!

Happy to hear you are closer to home but hate you had to make a stop.
You are right. Wes wouldn't be Wes if he did things simple lol.
I will pray the little booger will get his temps under control and you guys will be able to make it the rest of the way home.
Great news from the drs!
hugs
