Sickly

Here is Ever at his worst, when his fever was raging at 39.6, his heart rate was 210, he was too weak to nurse, and he screamed a awful high pitched scream when ever he was moved. Thus it was felt he might have meningitis. Thankfully the doctor feel it was just a bad virus as all the cultures came back negative. Poor little man had to have a lumber puncture, an IV started, and blood taken twice. Even I had to have blood taken.

It was a awful thing for a three week old to endure but we are looking at it as a blessing. Ever had some abdominal distention which the doctor attributed to liver and spleen enlargement as a result pf the infection, thus he had an ultrasound to conform it. The ultrasound also showed an ureterocele with mild hydronephrosis. We would have never known potentially until there was considerable kidney damage. Now it can be dealt with before he loses a kidney.
