The Watts' Adventures

Well, our trip from Durham went down hill the closer we got home. Michael spiked a fever, had a funky feeling stomach, headache and couldn't hardly hold his eyes open. He ran in the house and delivered his milk shake to the toilet along with whatever else he had bubbling around. I didn't even take my coat off. I just simply picked up the phone dialed the number to Duke, while shoving a thermometer in his mouth. I spoke with the fellow on call which instructed us to go to our local ER.. Oh joy.. I didn't do anything but call Dr. Schacht to meet us. Gotta love the perks that come with the job.

We went to the ER and had his blood drawn. Dr. Schacht wanted to make sure his Hgb & Hct hadn't bottomed out. All was well and we were on our way home in a little more than 2 hours. That's a record!! yahoo! Michael slept good that night. He had been thru it and so had we. He stayed out of school on Friday with Dad (my dad) to make sure his symptoms didn't come back. Friday was a day of pins and needless making sure my baby was alright and he was. By mid day his color was back and he was in better spirits. Still a little fatigued but all in all, he was OK.
