Poor Jackson



It has been quite a week so far. Jackson kept us up Sunday night whining and coughing so first thing Monday morning, I took him to the Pediatrician. He had 102 fever and his oxygen levels were low. We got a chest x-ray and a breathing treatment and a follow up appointment for the next morning. Yesterday afternoon, I called the Pediatrician back because his fever was almost 104 and he was miserable. Long story short, he was admitted to the hospital where we spent about 16 hours so they could monitor his fever and his breathing overnight. They did some testing and we will find out tomorrow what it actually was. The scary part though was that every nurse who entered the hospital room had to wear a plastic gown, a mask and gloves. Jackson wasn't allowed to leave the room either. Here are some pictures from the experience.

Yikes! I hope he gets better soon. Please let me know what the doctor's say. Ramona has a nasty cough, runny nose but no fever. I thought it was just a cold, until now.
