Meaty went to bed last night with a pretty good fever and some ibuprofen. He slept until 4:30 this morning and woke up with a raging fever again. After lots of TLC and some more medicine, he went back to sleep. He actually seemed to be doing pretty well this morning until about 11:00, when I noticed some strange coloration on his face near his ears and nose and decided it was time to call the pediatrician.
We spent much of the afternoon at the doctor having some basic tests run on him. They determined, so far, that he's got some sort of mystery bacterial infection (his white blood counts were in the high range). He's back on an antibiotic to see if it will kick whatever is going on in there. They want to seem him back on Friday for additional tests if the fever isn't going down on it's own by then.
Prayers for my little man, please.
