Strep and tonsils

Yesterday I took the boys to the doctor and it was confirmed that Isaac’s strep is back. Poor guy suffered so bad on Thursday, spending most of the day in bed because every time he got up, he felt worse.

The doctor also said she would like his tonsils to come out. This is something I’ve been wondering too—his tonsils have always been HUGE (and we thought maybe he’d outgrow it), not to mention that because they’re so huge, he’s constantly mouth breathing and I think this effects his speech. So we’ll be scheduling an ENT appointment for him.

Camden also was tested for strep because he had similar symptoms (high fever, rash, not eating/drinking, diarrhea) and it was positive. There goes the theory the doc originally told me, “Camden most likely won’t get it because kids under three usually don’t, and if they do, it’s very mild.” Ha, ha, ha! Figures Camden would prove that wrong!

Isaac has been on the antibiotic for 24 hours and he’s 90 percent better. It’s amazing how fast that medicine works!

Camden, on the other hand, had an awful night. We pretty much didn’t sleep from 2 a.m. forward. Every time I tried to lay down with him (or even recline a bit in the chair), he’d cry. He was even saying, “ow, ow, ow.” He’s only had one dose of the antibiotic, but I truly believe his “ow” is because of his reflux. Especially because he says it when I go to lay him down. A classic symptom of his reflux. It would make sense that his reflux would flare up now. One, he’s sick. And two, he’s had a high fever, which triggers the reflux because body temp and the reflux are on the same nerve root.

I tried to get him in to the chiro yesterday, but it didn't work out due to his doctor appointment. Now we have to suffer through the weekend. I am going to try upping his aloe vera juice to see if that helps to soothe.

Every virus hits Camden and everything is worse for him. (If I could punch something or scream here to show my frustration, I would.)

So, once again, all your prayers are appreciated.

Meanwhile, I will be searching the Internet for a bubble suit in Camden’s size.

First prank

So every time I am in my bathroom and Camden follows me, he is obsessed with going under my sink, taking out the items and lining them up along our tub. It's really harmless and he's learning great organizational skills, so I usually just let him do this while I get ready.

For two days now I've been searching high and low for my favorite lotion. I know it is Camden who has put it somewhere, but I can't find it anywhere.

Yesterday after my workout, I needed a quick shower before we had to go to church. I jumped in, grabbed my loofah sponge and squirted what I thought was body wash onto it and ah ha! the joke's on me! It wasn't body wash, but my favorite lotion that I had been searching high and low for. Camden put it in the shower! What a lil' prankster! He has officially pulled his first prank on someone. What a good laugh I got in the shower! Thanks, Camden.

Oy Camden!

Well, the other boys have improved from the virus of last week.  Logan is still struggling, but he didn’t start until later.  Camden has had a little improvement today (fever has gone down some and a bit more energy), but his wheezing is pretty bad.  I’ve done two nebulizer treatments with no luck.

I took him into the chiropractor today.  His reflux has reared its ugly head causing old symptoms that I hadn’t seen for months.  He’s been choking and gagging, struggling to catch his breath.  And I knew this was a huge reason that he wasn’t sleeping at night either. 

Dr. E said he was really off in his reflux area, but that is also the same nerve root for body temperature.  So basically, when he has a fever, it’s going to aggravate the reflux.  They’re connected on the same nerve root.  (errrr)

Also, his lymph nodes on the left side on his neck were very swollen and he cried – no, no, screamed when she adjusted him there.  It was actually painful because of that.  He also has fluid buildup behind his ears.  Are the tubes still in?  We don’t know (until he goes to doctor tomorrow).  If not, he could be suffering from an ear infection too. 

She also noticed he was unbalanced and asked about that.  I had noticed last week when he was feeling miserable that he had a hard time balancing.  There was one day where he literally could barely stand up to walk.  He kept falling over.  He’s also reverted back to more of the “monkey moving.”  She said the fluid can throw off his equilibrium. 

He also had a lot of gas buildup in his stomach.  When she adjusted his sacrum, it all let loose! 

I talked with her some about his symptoms and what was going on.  She shared with me that she’s seen quite a few people with this virus.  It appears to be affecting the little ones and people with breathing problems the worst.  After telling her about Camden’s previous problems with wheezing (mainly due to the reflux flaring up), she suggested we call his doctor.  He seems more tolerable and even happier today at times, but the wheezing is still there.  And he’s definitely far from being himself. 

I called the doctor and she was booked for today, but she called in more albuterol for the nebulizer and told us to do it four times a day.  She scheduled an appointment for us tomorrow morning.

I ask for your prayers.  I’ve been doing a study on healing the past few weeks and I really feel like I’m being challenged here with all my kids sick.  I’ve prayed so hard and not allowed “those” thoughts to enter my head.  I know God is bigger than any virus, bigger than reflux, bigger than all of that!  I just hate how Camden gets the brunt of every virus that hits our house.  And until the reflux is gone,  he always will.  One triggers the other.

But now, am I allowing bad thoughts into my head by saying that?  Maybe.  I’m very tired and getting sick myself, so my attitude isn’t the best right now. 

Prayers,  please. 

Thanks.

***********************************************

I promised myself I wouldn’t complain so much on this blog this year (mainly with Camden’s issues), but sometimes the best thing is just to put it out there and ask for the prayers of others.

The way I like it

Gosh, am I ever thankful for having the chiropractor in my life!  She is teaching me so much.  I am one who wants to treat my family naturally.  I don’t want to put them on prescription medications unless it is necessarily.  Dr. E (the chiro) is making that possible.

I took Camden yesterday for his adjustment.  He was off in that same ol’ spot that’s always off—the reflux spot.  And boy, did he adjust really good!  I am also happy to report that that allowed us to have a wonderful, uninterrupted night of sleep last night!  :)

I would really love for all my kids to go to the chiropractor, but financially it’s just not possible.  The next on my list though is Isaac.  He suffers from frequent headaches.  I also know that asthma can be  helped by adjustments because it helps to loosen up the airways.  I decided to ask Dr.E about what we could do to help Isaac’s asthma.  And  wow, I am so glad I asked her!

She talked with me for 20 minutes on different things to do to treat Isaac’s asthma NATURALLY!  First of all,we want to get the inflammation down because that’s what is making his attacks worse and worse every time.  She suggested high doses of Vitamin D, Fish Oil and taking Bosweilla.  Reducing the inflammation is going to make the attacks less severe, the breathing easier.  Then to help when an actual attack does happens, she suggested an essential oil called RC.  Just breathing it in has helped her daughter, who has severe asthma, stop an actual attack. 

It’s definitely worth a try!  I would rather try these things before putting him on another inhaler.  So yesterday I sat down and placed my vitamin order.  You’d think, oh, boy, that was probably expensive.  But it actually wasn’t much more than what we pay for Josh’s inhaler every month.  I’m hoping to start this same regimen with Josh.  He takes his inhaler way too much.  I’ll definitely let you know the results.  Natural things always take longer though—Dr. E said to give it three months. 

It’s still there

Once again, just as I’m thinking Camden has outgrown his reflux—he’s been doing so great—it bites me in the butt and says, Hello, I’m still here to haunt you!   Darn, I hate that reflux.

He’s had two somewhat bad nights with difficulty sleeping, not wanting to lay down.  I noticed two days ago he was refluxing noticeably quite a few times and wondered what was going on.  Why would he get through a recent cold and a food allergy attack without a reflux flare up, and then suddenly a couple days later, the reflux is flaring up?  What gives.

Yesterday Camden seemed “off.”  I noticed he was clingy, tired, low key and sneezing.  I kept thinking, he cannot be getting another cold.  He literally just got over one a week ago.  Then his nose started running.  And sure enough,  another cold.  This one sounds more chest-related so maybe that is why it’s flaring up his reflux.  I don’t really know. 

It’s been three weeks since his last chiropractor appointment.  Maybe that’s why too.  I cannot let our busy schedule dictate when he goes to the chiropractor.  He was doing so good so I thought we could wait a week before going back, but then that week turns into another week.  This boy still needs that chiro adjustment to help him.  So yes,  it’s already on the schedule that he WILL be going to the chiropractor tomorrow. 

(Gosh, I’m definitely NOT going to get the  Mother of the Year award this month, hey?)

Poisoned!

I poisoned my son. 

At least that’s what it feels like.

Last night Camden had a terrible episode.  He was screaming so hard I could hardly hold him.  His stomach was hard as a rock.  He was arching his back.  The crying was so bad.  It was awful.

It was a very long night.  I tried to sleep in the recliner with him, but even after the crying stopped, he was so restless.  He was very uncomfortable. 

It wasn’t until this morning that the cause dawned on me.  Arby’s french fries.  We went on a family grocery shopping trip to Woodman’s last night, but before we made a stop at Arby’s.  I had fed Camden before we left the house knowing there would be no food for him to eat at a restaurant.  I know Burger King’s fries are safe and I guess I just assumed Arby’s were safe also.  He only had a few!!!!

Lesson learned.  Never, ever assume anything.  I’m sorry, Camden.  :(

Physical therapy decreased!

Woo hoo!!!!!!!!

Camden was reassessed today by his physical therapist.  She came with the expectation that she would reassess him and probably decrease him to every other week.  I had the same expectations.  Wow, were we surprised!

Camden did so well on the test that she has decreased him to once a MONTH!  He has come so far since we last set our goals in the beginning of November.  We set five goals back then and he has made all but one of those goals.  He was a little over 30% delayed in the beginning of November and he is now 20% delayed.  I am so happy!!!  I knew he had made a lot of progress over the last month, but I didn’t realize how much. 

As soon as Ms. Heather left, I sat back and watched Camden and man, did the tears come!  I watched this happy little boy walking around with his brothers, playing and laughing….it was wonderful.  What a journey we’ve been on.   I had nothing but tears of joy. 

About a month ago I was listening to my iPod when “More Beautiful You” by Johnny Diaz came on.  I love this song and it’s message to young girls.  I was feeling pretty down because we were at a low with Camden and suddenly this song took on a new meaning. 

“There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you”

God was telling me that Camden is beautiful just the way he is.  God made him and has a purpose for him,  just him.  God makes us in His image.  He wove us together….we’re not created by mistake and without purpose.  And it doesn’t matter what’s on the outside.  God looks at our heart. 

17-month update

I think I confused some people when I said Camden was discharged and right where he should be for 17 months. When I said that, I'm referring to his SPEECH and FEEDING ONLY. He was only evaluated by his speech/feeding therapist yesterday and she discharged him from any future therapy relating to that.

He is still in PHYSICAL therapy once a week. His PT did say that she is going to reevaluate him on Tuesday though to see where he falls. He's made huge leaps with his walking and is probably closer to where he should be in the gross motor development area also. I think he was about 30% behind a month or so ago, so we'll see where he is on Tuesday. Although he still prefers the left side of his body, he doesn't seem to have as much weakness in the right side. His walking is amazing though! The progress he's made in such a short time is awesome and his symmetry is really good. That is exactly what the craniosacral therapist and chiropractor have been working on though.

He is still receiving the craniosacral therapy once a week. He's made a lot of progress with that and she's really happy with things, but he still has a lot of issues with his sacrum and she doesn't want to decrease his therapy until the sacrum is better. We do NOT want him going backwards!!! His huge progress has come since we started the craniosacral therapy and part of keeping up the progress is not allowing too much time between therapy sessions. Costly, yes. Worth it, definitely.

Camden's reflux has flared up here and there, but we're better controlling it with weekly chiropractor visits and aloe vera juice. I am giving him lots of Vitamin D, in addition to his other vitamins, and he has been healthy for a couple weeks now! Woo hoo! I want to start him on fish oil next, but I am still researching the best one for him.

As long as he's avoiding all allergen foods, he's good. He did have something the other night (my only guess is a handful of wheat noodles stolen off of Logan's plate) and his ears turned bright red and were hot and then they started oozing. Very strange, but when I was talking to the chiro and happened to mention this, she said it definitely sounded like an allergic thing going on. He is definitely his father's son with all these weird allergic reactions.

So that's basically my update on Camden. I am beginning to feel a sense of normalness to our life (if there is that with four kids!). Camden is doing so much more and exploring his little world around him. He is at my favorite age, where they learn and do something new almost every day. We are having so much fun with him. I am so thankful for God's blessings.

Discharged!

Woo hoo!!!!! Camden was discharged from feeding therapy and speech therapy today. She was stunned at the progress he's made. He is right where he should be for a 17 month old. You have no idea how wonderful that is to hear! God is so good.

Camden walking

Bite of yogurt

Recently I’ve learned about the benefits of Vitamin D and how we are all seriously lacking it.  I purchased a liquid form of it to take and give especially to Camden.  I was told this would help him with getting sick less often.  Worth a try for sure! 

Camden is sick, once again, so I’ve been giving it to him, but it's also very important to get him in to the chiropractor.  Logan was showing some signs of a cold coming on so I was having him take a bite of yogurt which contained the Vitamin D (hidden, of course).

All the boys came with me to Camden’s chiropractor trip yesterday and afterwards in the car, Isaac was asking me how it went.  I was telling him how it was and how it will really help Camden get better because this cold is settling in his lungs and an adjustment helps to loosen that up in there.

From the back seat Logan’s little voice says, “Mom, how come when Binden (Camden) is sick, you take him to the chiropractor, but when I’m sick, you give me a bite of yogurt?”

Back to bad…

When Camden woke up yesterday morning, I realized why he had had a reflux flare up…..a cold.  The reflux flare-up symptoms always come before the sickness symptoms.

Darn!  He just got over a cold bug. 

Yesterday was tough for him….reflux-wise.  I noticed him physically refluxing a lot and struggling wit the coughing and gagging, choking (just like  in the beginning).  Just about every time he drank something, he would choke.  He did nap well in the afternoon, but it was as the late afternoon/evening went on, that the refluxing got worse and I wondered how our  night would go.

And our night was awful.  He didn’t want to go to bed to begin with and started with the screaming, which led to intense coughing, which I know aggravates the reflux.  I tried to give him aloe vera juice to soothe the esophagus, but he would spit it out.  I also tried Rescue Remedy, which is homeopathic medicine, to relax him.  I held him and snuggled him and he seemed fine, but as soon as I would say, “Let’s go night night,” he’d burst into tears.  Finally at 9:30 he fell  asleep.  The sleep lasted until 2:22 a.m.  It was all downhill from there.  If we were upright in the chair, he was sleeping.  But as soon as we reclined at all or if I dare tried to lay him flat in his bed (thinking he was deep asleep), he’d sit up and cry right away.  If he had not had those great nights of sleeping 12 hours, I would think he was just putting on an act.  I do believe it’s hurting him to lay down flat. 

So another night in the recliner.  My body is starting to feel it.  I am not meant to sleep in a chair!  I’M going to need the chiropractic adjustments soon!

Overall, this cold seems like just that….a cold.  No fever, wheezing, nagging cough, etc.  I’m not sure why the reflux is acting up so much with this cold. 

But the frustration continues here.....especially because we're snowbound now and stuck and can't get to the chiropractor.

Reverting back

Camden has reverted back. We are not sure why, but things he did before (quite well), he's struggling with. I noticed this last week and I didn't know whether it was because he was sick or not or because of the reflux flare up. Technically, he didn't have PT last week because we did the evaluation during his PT time. The PT was able to sit and observe Camden while we talked at the meeting though (something she normally doesn't do because she's working with him usually) and she didn't like how he moved at all. She didn't realize how downpat he really had this monkey moving way and the way he always favors his right side....always.
I discussed my concerns with her today and as she worked with him, she noticed too that he was not doing things he had done previously. She feels that it is a direct result of the reflux. It seems to her that whenever Camden gets sick or a reflux flare up, he doesn't progress and even goes back. When he's feeling good, he makes great progress. It makes sense really. I just don't like it one bit.
He was doing so SO good. Why, why, why? I was trying so hard to focus on what he could do and be thankful for who HE is, just the way he is right now. But let me tell you, it's awfully hard to do that when he reverts backwards. Now is a time when he should be going forward. Ms. Heather (his therapist) had intended on working on his walking with him and really pushing that seeing as how he's 16 months old officially now. Instead we spent the whole session working on things that had been introduced in the first few months of therapy. Argh!!!!!!!!!!!! Why????
I asked her about the neurologist, whether we should or shouldn't. She seemed just as unsure about it as I am. This is something nagging me. Just when I think I'm okay with not going, then I think we should. And then when I think we should, I think maybe we're overreacting. I'm praying so hard for direction.
Last week another phsyical therapist did recommend that we seek a neurologist. I had such a hard time with this (still do)! I mean, I've thought maybe we should for a bit now, but actually hearing that another professional thought he should see a neurologist was so hard for me. I cried and cried half the day. It terrifies me.
Ms. Heather did feel that 15% of her RIGHT NOW felt we should take Camden to a neurologist. But she said she couldn't say for sure until he was walking. What she was possibly thinking was wrong (sorry, the name escapes me right now) has to do with the brain and it's similar to a stroke where one side of the brain is turned off. Once he's walking, she can better see whether he's using one side. If he walks symmetrical, using both legs equally, then we're good. Just more therapy. If he doesn't, then we may have some issues. The thing is, even if there is something wrong in the brain, it really wouldn't change how she is treating him. At least that's what she says. I get that, but I also think of how much he already favors one side and how it's always been like that, how he's always been so far behind developmentally. Is the reflux really to blame for all of that????
We are going to be doing craniosacral therapy with Camden to see if that helps. He has his first appointment on Monday, the 30th. That therapist looked at him and could tell by the way he was sitting that he preferred one side over the other! Camden's had one session before, back in June, but we put off further therapy sessions because we couldn't afford to do both chiro and cranio and I didn't know if we really needed the craniosacral work. Now I feel that the craniosacral work is kind of our last resort to try and get things right. It's another cost, but God provided a relief in our chiropractic bills, so we're going to go forward with the craniosacral therapy.
We had Thanksgiving last Saturday with my husband's family. Camden had a cold and apparently ate something that did not agree with him. His reflux flared up and he has a terrible yeast infection again. His cold sounds, once again, like it's settling in his lungs so we may need to do some breathing treatments...we'll see. He goes back to the chiropractor tomorrow...thankfully. Maybe an adjustment can help knock this cold out of him like it has before.
I continue to go forward steadfastly praying for direction and answers. I am doing a Bible study on healing and the power of God's healing. I need to let go of all my worries, doubts, anger and turn it all over to God. That is so much easier said than done!

Getting that feeling again.

Okay, I’m getting that feeling.  You know the one where you want to run away so you don’t have to face what’s ahead?  I got this same feeling the night before Camden’s tubes.  As I was sitting on the floor in his room with him crying and me feeling helpless not being able to nurse him for comfort, I contemplated ways we could escape….run away to Mexico,  bury ourselves in a hole and come out when it’s passed, hide out in a cave…you know, totally logical reasons at 3 a.m.  I just did not want my baby to go through what we were about to go through.  I didn’t want my baby being placed into someone else’s hands and me sitting in another room, helpless.

Now here I sit after a long, stressful, busy week and I have the same feelings.  What can I do to get out of this?  Or maybe just fast forward so it’s done and over with? 

God, I need your strength and peace to wash over me in tidal waves. 

The nurse just called to confirm everything for tomorrow.  It made the feeling more real and the anxiety bigger.  The surgery (endoscopy, sigmoidoscopy and biopsies) are scheduled for 10:30 a.m.  We need to arrive by  9:15 a.m.  They will give Camden an enema to “clean him out.”  He cannot eat after midnight and clear liquids only up to three hours before surgery. 

Honestly, I don’t think they are really going to find anything from this procedure.  I feel like we’ve been pushed from one doctor to the next, one test to the next and we really aren’t truly going to get an answer from this test.  It’s just going to rule out things instead.   That may be a bad attitude, but I’m sorry, it is my attitude. 

I am not in a very good mood right now.  I probably won’t be until this is all over with tomorrow.  Right now all I keep  picturing is my baby boy lying in a hospital bed with a little gown on looking scared and sad. 

Please say some extra prayers that I am able to feel peace and comfort tonight.  That I am able to turn all of this over to God and let Him deal with it. 

That the physician will find something if he needs to or not find something...whatever the need is. God is in control.

No doubt?

I'm sensing maybe God is trying to tell me something....or maybe not. Camden has had some rough nights lately. Me too.

At first I thought it was just a "separation anxiety" thing, but I'm doubting that.

No new foods were introduced. Everything is plain and simple and regular in anticipation of the scope on Friday.

I'm baffled. I do not know what is wrong with him. And I'm realizing the importance of doing the scope to rule out things.

He just cries at night. He will not lay down flat. He will not even lay on a pillow with me in my bed. Sleeping in the recliner with him only lasts so long. I can't even RECLINE in the recliner because he cries with that. Sleeping on the floor in the living room works for a bit. He just slumps over me. Letting him cry it out is....well, just that....him crying and crying and crying and crying and crying, which in turn, wakes the rest of the house up.

It's been a rough couple nights. He shows no sign of sickness during the day. In fact, he's his normal happy self. He even naps! These symptoms somewhat mimmick reflux, especially the not being able to lay flat. It could also be his ears, if those tubes have already fallen out.

In any case, I am feeling more and more confident about doing the scope.

And on a more positive note, his PT reevaluated him this morning. He is now at 29% behind versus the more than 50% he was three months ago. Hooray! He's not walking yet and 9-16 months is considered "normal" range to start walking in. So he's got 1/2 month to start walking. We shall see. She's still baffled as to why one side of his body is so much stronger than the other. She even asked me if anyone else told us why...ENT, GI, chiro. It's an unexplained mystery. Anyone out there have any suggestions????

Thanks

I wanted to thank everyone for their words of encouragement, advice, opinions, prayers, thoughts, everything!  It’s overwhelming and I appreciate it so much.

I have my own opinions, but I do take everyone’s advice into consideration. 

We’re going forward with the scope with much prayers.  I honestly do not expect to find anything major, but I feel  we must do it to eliminate our wondering. 

Nervous…

I believe both Josh and I are getting the nervous parent syndrome.  We’re both questioning whether Camden needs to go through the endoscopy.  We’re both dreading the whole procedure.

It always seemed so far away and I felt like we could see where we were when the time came closer.  Now, that time is here.  The procedure is next week Friday.  I’m a wreck!  I am just dreading it.  I do not want to put Camden through it, but I also don’t want to regret it months later if we don’t do it.

Camden still has reflux flare ups (although he’s been medicine free for two months now), he still has yeast  issues, he still wakes at night crying, he still has motor development delays, he seems to get sick easily and stay sick longer.  These are all reasons to have the  procedure done.  To rule out anything more serious. 

But then there’s the momma bear in me that wants to protect Camden.

Please pray for me to know what the right decision is….whether it makes me “feel” good or not.  Pray for Josh too.  And give me any input you have.

One thing after another….

Camden started with a cold 10 days ago.  It aggravated his reflux and made for some sleepless nights, but overall it was a simple cold.  He hasn’t been able to shake it though and now it’s settled in his chest causing a tight cough and wheezing.  I’m giving him breathing treatments with the nebulizer but it doesn’t seem to help for very long. 

Seriously!  Can’t this lil’ guy just get good and stay good?!?!

Improvement

Camden is improving!!!!

He slept for three hours at a time last night.  Every night seems to get a little bit better.  He ate breakfast and lunch today so far and had no trouble or pain when swallowing the food.  I only gave him the magic mouthwash once and I think I’m done with that….blah. 

His rash is still there but definitely seems to be going away and not spreading.  He is finally smiling and not nearly crying as much.

The sparkle is back in his eyes!  Hallelujah!

God, please don’t let Logan get this awful virus.

We’re back!

We’re back from vacation and we had a great time.  I have over 100 pictures to share so I will definitely post that later and tell you all about our trip.

Camden started a fever very early Saturday morning.  He’s been running a 103-104 fever since.  Today is the first day that it’s going down to  100 with the Motrin.  He’s very lethargic, crying a lot, not eating much.  We couldn’t get his temp down yesterday afternoon.  After an hour of the Motrin being in him, it was still at 104.  He was also breathing rapid and fast.  I called the doctor and explained the details to her.  She immediately said, “Get him to the hospital now!”  To which I lost it and just started crying.  It’s so scary when your little one is burning up and doing nothing but laying there.  We prayed hard, waited 10 more minutes to take his temp again and after it was still at 103.8, we headed in.  Of  course, once we got there his temp had gone down.  I didn’t care though….I was so relieved he was getting relief! 

Last night he slept much better than previous nights, but he screamed, thrashed, arched his back for over an hour before he klonked out.  He was doing much of the same this morning and his temp was still 103 so I scheduled a doctor’s visit for him.  She said it could be the beginning of hand, foot and mouth or just a virus.  His throat is also red and sore.  Apparently, there’s some high fever virus going around…no other symptoms.  She did swab him for strep, but he’s a bit young to get that.  He’s very sleepy today and his temp is being much better controlled with  Motrin and Tylenol.  Keep praying for him and that he can knock this virus out of him.  I hope the other boys don’t get it either!  I’m so mad that CAMDEN had to get this virus!
