Finally, We Have Answers!!!

Here's the Ethan I miss!!! He doesn't even have that little tummy anymore after losing so much weight. (By the way, he was a "super hero" in case you couldn't tell.)

We took Ethan back to the Dr. today. His fever came back last night (102) and he threw up. He had never really made a recovery from being sick last week. She re-checked his bloodwork (all of his bloodwork came back negative from last week) and now it showed bacterial instead of viral. She ordered a chest xray to check for pneumonia and another abdominal xray to check for an abscess. She said if all of that came back clear she would have to consult the infectious disease specialist at Children's to see if he needed to be hospitalized for further testing. I never thought I would pray for my child to have pneumonia but I sure did this morning! And luckily, that is what he has. I was so relieved. I realize that it is still a dangerous illness but at least we know what we are dealing with and it can be treated. He got a Rocephin shot (which was horrible) and he will get oral antibiotics for the next 10 days. She said he should be better within the next 48 hours. I can't wait to have my Ethan back!!! Not that anyone cares about me, but this whole ordeal has made me physically sick with worry. We're all exhausted and ready to be done with it all. Poor little Ethan....
