At the Emergency Room

As I mentioned briefly last time, Titus had a rough night Friday night. Saturday, he was struggling to breathe by late morning was running a fever. Tylenol brought the fever down, and he breathing/heart rate returned to normal around 3pm Saturday and all of Sunday/Sunday night.

But today, he started struggling again, and Becky and the nurse, made the decision to take him to the ER. When they got there, his fever was 104. They have him on Tylenol to bring it down, are in the process of checking him into a room, and taking a chest x-ray. The early indication may be pneumonia but will know more in the next few hours.

I'll update the blog and facebook with the details as it progresses.

Titus has not had a hospital stay since Cincinnati (and that was for the effects of anesthesia after the evaluation that was done - he was NOT sick). So, it's been almost 8-9 months since Titus spent the night in the hospital for being sick. We are thankful for these long spells of good health. But it's amazing how you "kick in" to survival mode. The boys are taken care for tonight and tomorrow - and we'll make a plan each day (which is always how we do it - just take it one day/one hour at a time).

As we have stated many times, this does not catch God unaware - He has a plan.
