First trip to the ER

I've already told this story a few times, but I thought I'd go ahead and tell everyone else that's interested. Gavin's fever got higher through the day on Saturday despite three doses of Tylenol. Around 9, I changed his second diarrhea diaper (TMI I know...but he's a baby!) and his fever was 102.5. I called the doctor on call. While waiting for her to call me back, he threw up all over me. So, needless to say, she told me to head to Children's to have him looked at. Of course this would happen when Jarrod's in New York, right? When we got to the hospital, there were only a few families in the waiting room, so I didn't think it would be too long...lesson learned. Three hours later we were heading home with the same diagnosis the pediatrician gave us earlier in the day...it's a virus. I was so glad that they didn't have to do bloodwork or anything. His fever got to 103.2 at the hospital so they gave him Motrin. My new favorite drug - it worked so much better than the Tylenol did. So, here we are, Monday morning. He's still running a low fever, and he's coughing, but he's able to breath through his nose and he seems to be doing a lot better. I think we're on the tail end of this virus...hopefully!
