Emergency Room




We had a major scare tonight with Ryland. John Chris and I had gone to the reunion dinner, and Ryland stayed with the family to play. An hour after we left, we got a phone call that Ryland had a fever of 103. Our food had just come out, but I decided to leave to go check on him. It only took about 10 minutes for me to get there and his fever was at 105. We immediately left for the emergency room. We were immediately seen at the hospital, and they began giving him meds to bring his fever down. They tested for swine flu, RSV, and pneumonia. They all came back negative. The conclusion was that he had a viral infection, and we were to take him home and wait it out. I called his pediatrician and told them the symptoms, and they were sure it was a kidney infection. Thank God!
