Being sick

Brayden is sick. We ended up taking him to the hospital, which as you all know is the last thing I ever want to do. When I got home yesterday morning Brayden was whimpering in his room. I went to check on him and he was covered in vomit and burning up. I gave him some tylenol and waited. The fever went down for about an hour and Brayden became playful but it was like a clock and when the hour was up he fever went up and he would become lethargic again. I tried to treat him at home but this had been going on all day and and he couldn't keep anything down. I got ready for work and took Brayden with me to the hospital. I was worried that he was going to be dehydrated because he hadn't kept anything down but he had tears so I had doubts. When we got to the hospital they started an IV so they could give him fluids and took some blood. The labs all came out clean which was a relief and his electrolytes where fine so he wasn't dehydrated. They ran more tests which all still came out negative but Brayden looked like he was going to faint. The doctor wanted us to stay in an overnight observation unit, where I work, to watch him just to make sure everything really was OK because he was worried about the way he looked. We decided to take Brayden home but we left his IV in just in case we had to bring him back. Ben took Brayden home and let him sleep in our bed so he could monitor him while I was at work. I got of work early and when I got home Brayden was still restless and crying, I don't know if he got any sleep. I took out his IV to help him and consider myself lucky that he was able to drink and not vomit. Now he is running and playing with no care in the world again and I'm so thankful! He still has a fever but its not at 103 like it was last night. I'm hoping whatever he has will just pass and not spread to anyone else. Wish us luck!
