That was Colm’s temperature last night. I don’t think either one of our kids has ever had a temp that high. I think I cursed and prayed at the same time when I saw those numbers. I remained relatively calm and collected on the outside, but I was freaking out on the inside. He was on fire and his eyes were all crazy and he just wasn’t there. I gave him some Motrin and it went down a little, but then went right back up after an hour, even with a cool washcloth on his head. Off to the hospital we went. We didn’t have to wait too long and Colm slept the whole time we waited anyways so it wasn’t too bad. They tested him for pneumonia, the flu and strep and all came back negative which is good, I guess, but we still don’t know what he has. His still has a temp today, but nothing like it was yesterday. He is still lethargic and wants to do nothing but lay on the couch. So, the doctor gave us a list of symptoms to be looking for and if any of those happen we need to take him back ASAP, otherwise it just needs to run its course. We are now stocked up on Motrin and Tylenol so at least he will be relatively comfortable while his body does what it needs to do to fight those nasty germs.
****Update…The hospital called this afternoon and decided, after looking at his X-ray again, that he does have pneumonia. So we have antibiotics now which I am very happy about.
