Five hour tour

So today was my day to take Mattie in for his blood draw and he enjoys when Sean does the blood draw and he even got him a small ugly doll named minus that he was going to give him for Christmas. Sean likes Poe who is Matt's green bat ugly doll so when we found out Sean was out sick today he was bummed.

Matt woke up with a 99.7 temperature which progressed to 100.7 by late morning
At that point the rule of thumb is to call in and they asked to see him right away in the ER. So we knew then our 20 minute visit with Sean wouldnt have happened anyway, even if he wasnt sick. Instead, they checked vital signs, got a run down of events, put a PIV in and took blood for cultures, took a urine sample, took two xrays and by the time we left five hours later, his temp was down to 98.7   But a couple hours later he was up over 100 again. He took some tylonol and headed for bed. We are on edge even though his numbers are not even close to being neutropenic, which would hospitalize him, but with all the tests not showing anything, this could possibly put a damper on our family Christmas and New Years. We pray this fever breaks and he feels better for the holidays...
