We had to take our baby to the hospital tonight. He’s had a fever for two days.  

When I got home from work, we checked his temperature. I watched the numbers start at 99 and skyrocket. Before it even stopped climbing, it hit 104. I told Sarah we needed to go to the hospital now.

I remembered watching some movie were this girl was going in to shock from a high fever and Harrison Ford made the family soak her in an ice bath.

I didn’t use ice, but I drenched him in cold water for 10 minutes and then we zoomed to the hospital. When we got there, his fever was down to 101.7. After many tests, the ER docs wanted to admit him. The don’t have any answers yet, just a bunch of stuff ruled out. The fever is still there. He’s on an IV. He was finally sleeping peacefully when I left to go pick up Elliot from Erin and Neeraj’s house.

He’ll see a Pediatrician in the morning…
