he is 14, and very very sick. he also has asthma. he has had a high fever since friday. headache, extremely sore throat, cough, etc etc... i toook him to the dr and they immediately said swine flu. he was tested for strep [which came back negative]. so basically there is nothing that will make him better but time. i just feel like he''s been sick so long... and im worried. this has REALLY taken a lot out of him. its just wreakin havoc on his system. everyday instead of seeming better, it just seems worse. at this point, im having a hard time keeping him hydrated.
everyone keeps asking how did he get it? and where did he get it? and i dont know the answer to that question. it came so out of nowhere. fortunately, he is still making me smile, with his hilarious sense of humor, which keeps the worry factor in check. i feel like as long as when he wakes up he is still himself, its still ok. albeit a weaker, tired version, but still engaging. he sleeps so much. i just want his fever to break and to start feeling better already. *sighs* he is taller than me, and stronger too.... but he is still my baby. if i could take this on for him i would in a heartbeat. it reminds me so much of when he had meningitis. he was in the hospital for a week with that episode. anyhow, just needed to vent... so thanks...
