Last night Micah spiked a fever and began complaining of ear pain. He took him straight to the ER and they said he didn't have an ear infection but he did have bronchitis. He and I barely slept last night. He coughed and whimpered all night and I ran his nebulizer every hour. He has barely eaten in the last 24 hours and has almost no energy. He usually runs around the house all day and refuses to take naps. Yesterday, and so far today, he has spent his time on the couch watching movies and coughing.
Sadly with his Tetrology of Fallot, his immune system is a lot weaker than a normal kid. Every time he gets sick, it gets worse very quickly. He has gone from sniffles to RSV in a matter of 48 hour in the past. With bronchitis, he could get pneumonia very easily. Please please pray that his doctor has a way of easing his breathing (especially while he sleeps) and that they have an antibiotic to kick this thing out of his body. The Kansas City hospital is so far away and I don't know if our base hospital can handle him.
