So first lets start with the fact that I worked overnight last night [supposed to tonight too but here is physically NO WAY!] So I worked 10pm-7am. I get home about 7:15 & Brady has a fever of 101ish I think Johnny said. So I give him Tylenol & lay him in bed with me and sleep til about 9:15. I woke up because he was burning up so bad that it was making ME sweat! So I checked his temp & it had shot up to 103.5! I called the doctor told them he had been coughing for the last week and told them how his temp shot up after giving him tylenol. FIrst thing out of the nurses mouth was "has he gotten to h1n1 vaccine?" I told her no. She says "okay we need to see him immediately" Scares the living CRAP out of me! So I get him to the dr at about 11:00 [we live 30 minutes from his dr] We get in the waiting room & there is another little girl [i guess about 8] that has the same things going on with her. They sent the nurse out to check both of their temps. Brady had gone down to 102.2. We had to hold him down and give him tylenol which seemed to make him feel a little better. After an hour of sitting in the waiting room they FINALLY call us back. We get to he room & we have to sit there another hour!!! In the hour Brady starts to get warm again and is obviously feelin icky again. The dr came in and talked to us for a minute and tells me "i think it's viral but i'll swab for strep and check his white blood cells [i think that what i was] if the white blood cells were over 24,000 she was said she'd give him a shot of an antibiotic and send him over to get a chest xray. so they make him mad by swabbing this throat and poking his finger to take blood. come back about 20 minutes later and the doctor says "the strep was negative, which i thought it would be" then she had this LONG pause! then says "i am totally suprised but his white blood cell count is 30,000! i am really glad you brought him in when you did" so turns out he has pneumonia! i leave that office at about 2ish. i got over to get his xray done which was fairly quick. expect the fact that i was able to leave after that was taken and the tech didn't tell me!! so i sat in the office thinkin a dr was gonna call me back or something for over an hour!!! we finally left at close to 5:00! by the time i stopped at the store to get soup for dinner and brady some vapor bath it was 6:30! then i just got dinner cleaned up and brady ready & in bed and its 7:40 && walmart thinks i'm gonna be there to work from 10pm-7am when i've only slept 2 hours in the last 24 hours!! /:
