Worst week of my life
I havent blogged in a while. This week has been busy. The week before was the worst week of my life. No exaggeration. Two weeks ago today Caleb was fine but by 6am Sunday morning he woke with a really high temperature. We called NSH24, who sent us to the doctor, who sent us to hospital, where we stayed for 4days. It was terrible. He had a fever, his heart rate was over 200, he stopped feeding (very unusual for him), was put on a drip, and had a lumbar puncture amongst other horrible tests. Awful, awful, awful. Meningitis was suspected but thankfully that wasnt the case. Something showed up on his kidney ultrasound so it looks likely to be some sort of infection. He was on IV antibiotics for a week and now he is on oral antibiotics for 6months :-( We will have follow up appointments at the hospital in the next couple of months. He is totally back to his normal self, mum and dad on the other hand are still traumatised! The hospital was great, we had our own room and we were both able to stay with him. It was a scary time though, the first night in particular when he was really sick. Here he is with the IV thing in his arm, poor baby and here he is looking totally fine a few days later
Praise God for his recovery!

Oh Cheryl, I am so sorry to hear what you and Caleb went through. I know just how frightening that can be. I've been through it with both my children and grandchildren.

Awwwww... poor guy! But they do seem to bounce back nicely!
I'm so glad the little tyke is doing better. I know you guys must have been terrified. Poor little buddy. His doing better picture is a blessing to see! It's always hard because babies can't tell us when they don't feel right.
Glad you and hubby are recovering.
Hugs,
Donna
