Still Sick Here

We have some of the best friends in the world! When our dear friend Holly heard that KC could not go to the concert, her son (KC's best bud) picked out two of his favorite Wiggles movies and lent them to KC so he could have his own "wiggly concert" right here at home. KC is very good about finding joy in things; he loved every minute of the movies.

Unfortunately, he is still quite sick. Most of last night I would waken off and on, checking his breathing, feeling to see if he was getting hotter etc. He must have been having fever dreams; lots of weird mumblings and he was grinding his teeth big time--something he hasn't done in years.

Today we called the Dr. who was not in. Story of my life! LOL The covering MD is the doctor my co worker uses. He is not really someone I want to take KC to, based on how the Dr handled my co-workers daughters recent bout of swine flu. (he did not want her in the office and sent her to ER where she spent 7 fun filled hours and received no info.) I figured unless things worsen dramatically he is better at home being carefully and lovingly watched by eagle eyed parents.

He is well hydrated, not really eating but that is okay with me as long as he drinks. The fever is being kept at 100 or so. Once today it hit 101 but that was the only time. So we are waiting till our Dr. is in tomorrow to see if he has any other pearls of wisdom for us.

It is hard to isolate when you have 4 kids. We have set KC up during the day time on an air bed in our work room. He is quite comfortable and Lissa can not get at him. She can play in the living room and the other side of the house but not do anything but holler hellos to her big brother. (much to her intense distress, but we are doing all we can to try and stem the spread of whatever plague has come to visit us.

I actually have more to write as I have been exchanging a plethora of emails with Fiona's clinician but I am honestly too brain dead tonight to attempt it.
