We battled the flu last week, and I thought we had won.  Apparently not!  Because we are fighting it or something again.   And on Tuesday, we took Jonah to the ER with a fever of 104.5 and severe headache.  I was really concerned that he was having a serious relapse, and with all the reports in the news of death among even healthy children, I couldn't take a wait and see approach.  Everyone was so kind and helpful at our local hospital, we were in a room within an hour and on our way home a little over an hour after that.  Of course, by the time they checked his vitals his temp. was way down.  They really could have said something about his "over-protective mother" making a mountain out of a molehill, instead the nurse congratulated me on doing the right thing.  I had given him Motrin and Tylenol as well as tried to bring the fever down with a cool bath.  (It kept climbing from 103 to 104.5 while I was trying these things, so we left for the ER immediately.)  Anyway, we're healing slowly but surely.  A long two weeks, but a blessed two weeks.
