Brody had to be taken to the ER for an extremely high fever. He was extremely sweaty. Wade was very smart and called the Cardiologists office in Saskatoon to tell them what was going on. As luck would have it Dr. Pharis was in Regina doing a clinic here so took great care to assist in educating the ER doctor on his condition and giving suggestions on his care. They did every test possible to see what was going on with him..good news is that all his chest XRays and Ultrasounds looked good so his heart was ok. They continued to fight his fever with advil and tylenol and his fever finally broke at 2am on Friday morning. We got to go home later in the afternoon.
He was very tired on Friday and then Saturday he was active and moving around like nothing happened. We have not heard on the test results yet but I am sure interested as to what caused his fever.
Dr. Pharis actually called on Sunday to see how things were going with Brody. Now that is what I call GREAT care. We have a great pediatric cardiology team here in Saskatchewan. Even though we never wanted to know them, we can't think of a better local team to have for support and care for our little man.
SIDE NOTE: Wade took him to the ER as I was on route back from Raleigh, NC. Talk about feeling utterly and completely helpless as it is engrained in us as Mom's that we need to be there for our sick children. Wade is a fantastic Dad and took care of him and even spent the night as he knew all the information from the day so it made sense.
