One sick baby

Poor Bryson. On Sunday he started running a temp and sounding really gunky in his chest. His temps have gotten as high as 104's. We came pretty close a few times to going into the ER but we made it through without that trip! We went to the doctor on Tuesday and she drew labs on him. I was shocked with how awesome his labs were! His ANC was 3000!! His H/H was 12/36 and his WBC was only 9. His monocytes were elevated which means he defiantly has a viral infection so we are just hanging out and waiting for this to go away.

Yesterday was a good day for him, his fever was gone most of the day and he was eating and playing and almost back to his old self. Then night came. He was up coughing and sneezing and his fever was back (101-102). He woke up this morning doing great and then became really fussy and just wanted me to hold him all morning. He felt warm...I didn't check it to see what it actually is, at this point I can just tell. The pediatrician is supposed to call and check on him today. When we were in on Tuesday she said she would give him until Thursday. I don't know what she meant by that, but its Thursday and he still keeps spiking temps, so now what?

I feel so bad for the little guy. He has stretches where he feels so good and then its like clock work....every night it gets bad again. I know with his immune system function not being the best that he will probably take longer to get rid of this stuff so I guess we will just wait and see! I should be hearing from the doctor soon so we'll see what she says!

Poor little man!! :(
