We wait and pray....

Austin is keeping us on our toes. Yesterday he started to run a 99 to 100 temp. The magic number to call is 100.5 under the arm. So it never got to that. We made it through the night even though I was packed and ready to go if we had to. It was a long night though. He tossed and turned and woke up a lot crying. We went to Patel's office at 8:45 this morning and his temp was 99.2. Patel feels to that it could be his teeth. He is having a hard time eating things, cranky, playing with his teeth with his tongue. So he didn't throw us in the hospital like I thought. Yet. He says if gets over a 100 then more then likely there is something going on. So we wait. We pray and see what God has in store for us. Austin did get platelets today to hold him over these three days. His platelets were at 94 but by Tuesday they would have dropped a bunch. So with platelets comes benadryl and tylenol. Thank goodness. Hopefully the fever will not come back. We hope and pray. So far he feels much better since he got tylenol and a good nap. He ate a pretty good lunch. So we are just waiting to see if the fever comes back. I am going to try and get something for him to chew on because I can't give him anything for the pain. So we will see. Hopefully we can get through the weekend and be home for Christmas!!!
