Sick Boy

Wentzle got sick for the first time last Sunday night. He woke up in the middle of the night screaming and nothing could calm him. Carlin took him on a car ride (so I could get a few hours of sleep before work), which worked great for Went, not so much for Daddy. Monday was not too bad. He didn't eat much and had a fever. Monday night came and the same thing happened again, waking up screaming. Daddy once again took him for a car ride. By Tuesday morning, Wentzle was just not happy, so Daddy took him to the doctor. They were hoping it was just an ear infection, no luck. (he also developed a rash while at the Doctors office) We had to go to the ER to get an x-ray (horrible thing to watch an infant go through), blood work and urine work done. It was a very long day for everyone. They finally figured it was just some kind of viral pneumonia and gave him a shot of antibiotics and sent us home. Went slept for almost 7 hours (we usually only get 3-4 hours) that night. The next day, no fever and Went's appetite was back. We are still trying to recover from the whole experience.
