Porter's been running a fever the past few days, but today he took a turn for the worse and it was a hard day on the little guy.
Woke up with a fever of 104.8 degrees.
Dry heaving.
Lethargic.
Sleepy.
Not eating and drinking very little.
Had me very worried.
Got him in to see the doctor and they were worried too.
Poor baby had to be catheterized for a urine sample.
They also drew blood samples, gave him an IV, and got a bag of fluid in him.
Thankfully all his tests came back normal, so they think it must be a viral infection.
He still isn't eating, but the fluids sure helped him yesterday. I didn't realize how dehydrated he was. Hopefully, we can keep him hydrated the next few days while the fever runs its course so he doesn't need another IV.

Poor little guy! Hope he is feeling better soon! He looks so exhausted in that picture, it really was rough day. Let us know if you need anything!
Melanie says go get pedialite popsicles.. they saved her with Mac. so sorry he is sick no fun
Did they test for strep? I know its hard for little ones to get it. My kiddos all have it. I hope he gets better soon. It sounds like he's had a miserable time!
I hope that he had a good weekend and that you are doing okay.
Oh Yuch! Sorry Rach. Hope he's doing better.
