thanks for all your positive thoughts and prayers guys. it was a shock when i got home to read all these post! my mom was baby sitting and called us wed. night and told us he had a fever. the weather has sucked so we just figured a cold. thursday morning his fever spiked 103.7 and wouldnt come down and he was having trouble breathing. being that he is only 11 weeks old it was a major concern so he was rushed to the e.r. and admitted. as of today, april 3rd, Ethan is still in the hospital and will probably be there until monday... they simply cant find the source of the infection. his white blood cell count is extremely high and he is still keeping a high fever. they have done strep, rsv, e-coli, meningitis, flu, influenza, bronchitis and pneumonia test - all negative! the have bacterial cultures taking growth to see what grows and what it is at this time. he is in great hands though. we are at the Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital in Nashville. its one of the best if not the best. the accomidations are fabulous (place looks like disney world) and the staff is incredible! anyhoo, he is starting to eat. he is now off the i.v. and monitors as well. Hes a tough little shit like his pops so im sure he'll be fine! just kind of freaky that they are arms in the air though... well, im off to head back to nashville. i had to get some clothes, take care of the dogs, etc... i'll keep you guys posted... thanks again for the love! here is the little guy thursday evening here is the magic hospital! you guys should check out this place!
