The latest saga in the Kane house

We have had an eventful few days. Liam's fever spiked after my last post to 100.3. We are told 100.4 is the cut off for a baby his age so we were told to take him to the ER because it was after hours on Monday night. After arriving and being greeted by the rudest physician I have ever met we were told that Liam would need a full sepsis work up. This we assumed would be a CBC and U/A. Much to our dismay we were told this also includes a spinal tap. At his point I freaked out and did some quick speed dialing to Mom, Jen and the pediatrician. I was told by the pediatrician that yes, he does need one but that they are not as invasive as in an adult. Still hesitant, we conceded and the poor muffin had one. Long story short....at 2:00 a.m. we were discharged and told all tests were O.K. and he did not have spinal meningitis. SCORE!!! Yesterday we followed up at the pediatrician office and were told he probably contracted a bug from somewhere and is fighting it. This....I can deal with.

I started school again last night with my very last class until I graduate!!! I have put off Anatomy and Physiology 2 until the very end as I dread every moment of its existence. I will admit that it did not seem too bad last night. Tonight is the lab so we will see how that goes. I have to endure this for 6 weeks and then I am done!!!!!! Yes, I Celine will have an A.S. in Health Information Management!!!

Mom and I are laying low today. I have some reading to do for school and she is finally listening and doing nothing today!
