Jake in ER

We had to go to the ER tonight. Jake spiked a temperature of 102. He is fighting some skin infections. We have him on a antibiotic called Clindamyacin. Jake remembered the drill from the first night we were there when we got diagnosed. He was getting nervous and stressed.

I have to say that Children's Mercy is an excellent hospital. I hope you all never have to experience it personally. They ran a CBC, which tests blood for all kinds of things. Anyway, all is normal and he has a temperature because his body has just started to fight the infection and the antibiotic has not had time to work. They sent us home and we were elated.

We are home and Jake is now in his bedroom watching "The Incredibles" for the 100th time. He has literally memorized the movie. He knows what they're going to say next. He feels most comfortable in his room. It's his safe zone and we don't do anything medical in there.

We have 9 more days of the yucky Clindamyacin. Wish us luck.
