Caelum's First ER Visit

Unfortunately, Caelum had his first ER visit last night. All seemed to have been ok with him at school yesterday. But about 30 minutes after we got home his cheeks started getting red and he was beginning to feel warm. So we took his temperature and it was 101.6, which normally I would not fret over but with his kidney situation we can not play around with temperatures - per the Urologist. So we took his clothes off trying to cool him down a bit but 30 minutes later it had only went down to 101.3. So we made the decision to take him onto the ER last night and he was diagnosed with Bilateral Ear Infection. So thankfully it was not a UTI but still stinks the poor little guy has ear infections. He is still a happy little boy despite that. His temperature came down a bit this morning, but we kept him out of school for the day and I am staying home from work. And Thankfully it was a quick visit to the ER (I think him being so young and a high heart rate (due to the fever) helped push him through there faster?!
I was holding him the whole time in the ER as he was cranky due to it being his bedtime and he was tired, so I of course could not get a picture. But all seems ok with him this morning...hopefully we both can take us a long needed nap! We will keep you posted!
