Monday-started out with Cody vomiting and diarrhea and a high fever of almost 104. I decided to call an ambulance and was told to take him to nearest hospital which was Plainview. We got there to get his stabilized and was there till around 1:30. Antibiotics were started and we were transported by ambulance to Sloan. I had to ride in ambulance and left my car. We got here to Sloan and antibiotics continued. Cody's meds were held so not having his antidepressant kicked in and he was a mess most of the day. His fever spiked again, pretty high which is 103.4 so his temp line had to be pulled at the bedside. It is not painful but feels so uncomfortable. This brought more tears. Then we had to fish around for veins to start 2 lines in his hands, more tears. He had a reaction to the magnesium he needed in his IV, more tears and very scary and painful. So now we have to settle down until 12 when they have to draw labs and he has to be poked again. I feel so bad for him. Uncle Jim (Cody's uncle) came and is arranging to get my car here tomorrow for me. Hoping for a better night and that Cody feels better tomorrow...
