While we were leaving for service this morning he was chilly,actually shivering so Mark put his coat on him. He never said that he didn't feel good or anything, just kept getting ready.
I went over to him and felt him and he was warm so I took his temp and he was 101.5F. By the time Daddy and Mark left he was 102F.By the time I had taken his service clothes off and dressed him he was 103F.
Wow that went up fast.I called the ped and we went in at 10:30. I had emailed his ped last night and again this morning to let him know what was going on.He called back and said that he also suspected pneumonia and wanted a chest x-ray and labs.
The ped we saw this morning was great.We also checked him for the flu which was negative. Thankgoodness.
Off to the hospital we went and had labs and x-ray. X-ray was STAT so we it wasn't long before they came out to tell us he had bronchitis.We then went to get his lab results and they were crazy.His WBC and neuts were way high. His lymph were way low. Which is very abnormal for Brocs normal.They are normally all the opposite.
So he was dx'd with bacterial bronchitis.We were given the option of spend the weekend in the hospital or take REALLY expensive antibiotics at home.Of course we chose the latter.His ped asked us to call his Immuno Dr down at Riley to make sure we are doing the best treatment for him.We called and we have to report back with them tom afternoon if he is still running a fever. They are also interested to see if his blood culture will grow anything.Let's hope it doesn't.
We will update with any news as soon as we get any new results.
He is happy to do his breeathing treatments as long as his favorite show is on - POCOYO.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Aw, poor fella :( I hope he's feeling better soon!
