Liam has been sick, and I mean SICK, since last Sunday…about nine days ago. It all started when I noticed him sleeping on the couch that day, in the middle of the afternoon, wrapped up in a blanket. That’s not normal for him. I went to check on him and he was SO hot. He had a temp of 105.5. We all got in the car and whisked him off to the hospital where they gave him a lot of Tylenol and Motrin and checked him for the flu which came out negative. We came home and he seemed to be doing okay the next day, but by early Tuesday morning his temp had spiked back up and he was vomiting. This also happened to be my very first day of school. Ugh!!! Sean took him to the ER again and they discovered he had pneumonia. They put him on an antibiotic which was okay for a day or so, but then he started having an allergic reaction to it. They then put him on another one and things were okay for another 24hours or so. Then this Sunday afternoon he started coughing a lot. A. LOT. I went to go check on him very early Monday morning and his temp had spiked up again. We went back to the ER and they decided to admit him. So he was in the hospital all of Monday through the afternoon on Tuesday where they were able to give him antibiotics through his IV. He is back home and his cough yesterday was just awful. He seems better today, but still coughing. I can’t believe the doctor who signed his release papers at the hospital thought he was well enough to go to school today. No way! We’ll see about that tomorrow. Maybe. Big maybe.
