Bronchitis You Are NOT Welcome!!

This has been the worst week. I went to the doctor with Bronchitis on Monday and left Leland with Mom through Wednesday in hopes that he wouldn't get sick. He was perfectly fine until Thursday morning and he started coughing. Friday morning he started running a low grade fever and by Friday night his fever was 101-102 and he was coughing really bad. I took him to the doctor Saturday morning, and he too has Bronchitis. I gave him his meds and he was lounging around most of the afternoon. About 3:30 or 4 Igave him a cup of milk and right when he finished it I could tell something was very wrong. His eyes were rolling back in his head, he was trembling all over, lip quivering, and completely limp. I rushed him to the Children's Hospital ER. They told me that he most likely had a seizure from the fever rising so quickly. When we got to the hospital his fever was 104. He was abolutely pitiful, but they were able to get his fever down after about 4 hours. You could tell he was feeling a lot better by the time we left because he was running around in sock feet and a diaper. The spinning doctors chair entertained him for a while. The doctor came in and asked him if he was ready to blow this popsicle joint and Leland said, "OH YEAH"! He and I got home about 9pm, just in time for a tornado warning. The weather people were saying that it was headed straight for our house and would be here in 15 min. I was definitely not in the mood!! I stopped at Newk's on the way home to pick up some of their yummy potato soup, but was not a happy camper that I had to scarf it down before the storm hit. I thought that Leland would like soup as well, but he opted for yogurt! Crazy weather people!! As soon as we finished eating, we had about 5 min before the storm was "suposed to hit". Right as I was unplugging everything and about to get us into the walk in closet, they said, "The tornado warning has been down graded and we will resume regular programing"!!! What the crap!!! How do you go from saying this is the worst storm of the night and multiple spotters have spotted a large tornado headed straight for our house, to, "We'll resume regular programing"?! Leland and I got ready for bed. He slept a little better last night, but between the bad weather and him moving to be able to breathe, we were up every 30 min to an hour. He is still running a low grade fever today, coughing and runny nose, but seems to be playing a little more. I am hoping he is a good bit better tomorrow because I have a lot of orders that have to get done. It has been impossible to work with me being sick and a crying baby clinging to my leg! We have just been lounging on the couch and watching movies. Jason will be done in Atlanta this week, so hopefully by this weekend everything will start to get back to normal!
