Jonathan has been battling some kind of bug since Sunday afternoon, but today it really got him. His temperature spiked up to 105 (under his arm, meaning it was really 106!) and I freaked and called the doctor's office, who said to immediately take him to the Emergency Room. So I did.
He's been complaining about various aches and pains, including pain in his legs and back. His doctor says it's called Myositis, which is basically a breakdown of the muscles. Common with the flu and such. This morning, however, Jonathan said he couldn't walk because his legs hurt too badly. Which was scary. So that little tidbit of info, along with the 105 temp, made for a quick drive to the ER!
He'll be fine, after a couple of days here. It's been determined that he has pneumonia in his left lung...pretty badly too. So he's on a couple of different types of antibiotics and some fluids to keep the dehydration away....it's kind of sad to see him looking so pitiful and fragile, but I know he's being taken care of. Thankfully, we've got a great doctor and we're in good hands.
