I feel like we lost the month of February. It went by quickly but not without a few hospital stays and several doctor visits. Trey’s site was down for awhile so we were unable to do updates.

The first week in February Trey had been running a high fever. On Sunday night his fever was getting high and Omaha wanted a chest xray. Off to the ER we went. The xrays were clear. He went to the DR on Monday and Tuesday he had labs. With the fever his liver enzymes remained good. On Wednesday his fever remained high even with Tylenol and you could tell he just didn’t feel good. Several times over the past few days he complained of feet pain pain in his legs. When it was time to get the girls I looked over at him and he said mommy I can’t walk, and he was shaking, teeth chattering, a really different cry and his skin was turning purple. I didn’t know what was happening and I was scared. I was always taught don’t make him too warm with a fever. I called his DR and they said come over immediately. The doctor said keep him wrapped in the blanket and hold him and warm him up. They did the usual vitals and made a call to Omaha. After a total of around 35 minutes his body finally warmed up and stopped shaking. The doctor thought it was related to his fever and he thought Trey should be hospitalized. We got to Omaha around 6:00 pm. Labs were done and another chest xray. Xray showed some bronchial junk in his lungs. That night he had 3 more episodes of the shaking, teeth chattering and turning purple but they only lasted 5 minutes. This time I knew to hug him and warm him with a blanket. The Resident was concerned it was a type of seizure but the test they tested for was negative. He continued to run a fever Thursday and Friday. We pushed fluids and he didn’t feel good. Nothing was showing up on labs and his liver numbers continued to be normal. On Friday morning the nurse thought he was getting dehydrated and he started getting purple again. She thought he should have an IV. It actually went in smoothly thanks from the help of Child Life distracting him. Jeff and the girls came up Friday night. Jeff decided to give me a break and send me back to Lincoln with Emma and Anna. (some break) On Saturday morning he tested positive for C-diff. The big question is did he go in the hospital with this or did he leave with it?? Fevers were less frequent, he was feeling better and the doctors discharged him late Saturday afternoon. He went home with a new medicine for 14 days. Their final diagnosis is a viral infection and that was the way his body responded to the infection.
