Will's home from the hospital. Again. As we were wheeled through the halls, I thought with nostalgia, "It seems like only yesterday William was born in this hospital. Wait..."
Wednesday evening, Will felt a little hot to me, but then, he had been sleeping on me, and the house was hot. When Phil got home he declared, "Will's burning up." I took his temperature and sure enough--103. Then I noticed a red spot on his foot had grown significantly, so I called the on-call nurse. She suggested with a baby so young, I take him to the emergency room and away we went. We were admitted around midnight, and were brought to pediatrics around 4 am. By that time William's fever was almost 104, and the red on his foot was growing bigger and bigger and starting to swell.
Two different ivs (one in his head), two different antibiotics and about a day and a half later, Will is on the mend. A special thank you to all the wonderful nurses who made our stay that much better, were so sweet to Will, and so kind to hysterical me.
We're anxious to see what else this kid's got up his sleeve.

Mar, that is so stressful! I'm so glad that everything is better. Hopefully he is letting you get some sleep at night. I feel like they get sleeping good at night and then something always messes it up! (teething, a cold etc.) He is a beautiful boy! I love that dark hair!
Oh, poor baby. Poor mommy! I hope he continues to feel better.
I hope he's feeling much better and that you guys had a fun time in Delta for the 4th of July!
