Poor Baby

Deacon and I spent most our weekend in the ER. Saturday Deacon was pretty sleeping and by evening we decided to check his temp. 101.9. We talked with our on call pediatrician and headed to the hospital. Jason stayed home with Jacob so I was off by myself until I got a hold of my mom to come around 10:30. Lucky for her all the pokes were pretty much done by the time she got there. They couldn't get and IV so they had to use a scalp vein. So sad for Mommy to see. The only thing they could come up with was that his hemoglobin was really low. They did a recheck later and it improved so we were discharged around 1:30 and told to come back on Sunday. Sunday they still couldn't find a cause for the fever, no virus his white blood counts were all good. They told us to follow up with more blood work with our doctor today. After a rough night of screaming from the poor little guy we were off to the doctor this morning. The doctor is still perplexed by what is truly wrong with the little guy and why his hemoglobin is off. We are continuing to monitor him and pray he gets better on his own. Thankfully it is 11:00 p.m. and nothing showed up on his blood culture so we should be in the clear and we wont have to admit him to the hospital tonight. Please pray our little peanut gets better and that nothing more serious is wrong.
