They warned us about mouth sores in the beginning of this and Rob woke up this morning with 2 of them. There were preventive measures which was to swish and spit with club soda, it burns so bad the carbon fisses and takes the dead cells off that build bacteria. This morning Rob tried to use that and started puking instantly. Seth comes to me and says mommy, daddy needs you! I went to Rob and asked him if he sent Seth to me, Rob said no he didn't. Awww Seth is so sweet he knew daddy needed help, good man. I have been trying to post since 9AM, Rob had a bad headache so I went to the hospital and picked up some codiene for him, it didn't touch his headache. Then when I got home I tried again to post and Rob went to lay down so I followed and he said I am hot so I took his temperature and it said 38.5 on my oral thermometer they say to add .5 to it so I checked it against theirs and I now know to add .2 to it. So they said to take him into the hospital when it is at 38.5, so we are at the hospital now. We have been here since about 12:30 this afternoon. They said that this COULD happen and if it does they will take blood samples and cultres. We will not know the results of it until 48 hours. He has maintained a fever of 37.5 since we have been here. I asked if they would have made him come in at 37.5 and they said they would have asked me to monitor it and after awhile if it didn't go away then he would have come in. The reason this is serious is if there is something in his blood it can spike instantly. Since Rob has been here his nausea is out of control I think that the hospital smell gets to him, so I am going to buy an airwick freshner so we can open it and close it. Hopefully that will help. I also had him on a tight schedule for nausea medication. This is so hard because I he was doing so much better at home yesterday and today. He watched tv, played games and got after the kids when they weren't listening. There was a steady increase of getting better, now there is a steady decrease. We also learned today that this is the easy part it gets much worse. It is just one thing after another, our bathroom sink is leaking, Rob told me how to fix it, that should prove to be interesting, it is like telling Rob how to cook dinner, it all sounds French. lol!
