Chase at St. Rose

I may be the only mom in the world to document her son's first ER visit on her blog, but knowing that Chase was not there for life threatening illnesses made me feel ok about taking a couple of pics. Chase has a viral infection which sounds much worse than it really is. We took him in this morning when his fever reached 104.5. I, of course, was freaking out and thought my world was coming to an end but the ER doctor reassured me that they don't usually worry until a fever reaches 106...106 degrees??? Just thinking about a temp that high made me nervous! Anyway, all of his bloodwork, urine analysis and even little boogey analysis came out healthy as can be....now it is just a waiting game for his fever to break.

Here he is with his little gown on (it was swimming on him so it is hard to tell it is actually a gown)Calmed down after a round of very pokey-prodey testing!
