sunday at the ER

We had a lovely relaxing sunday at the emergency room. This morning I called Erik's doctor again and she said I needed to go to the ER since he's so little. I'm kind of mad at the nurse whom I spoke to yesterday over the phone. She made it sound like I could just give Erik tylenol for his fever and he'd be alright. Anyway, we spent 7 hrs at the ER and they took all kinds of tests and even x-rays. It looks to be a viral infection but we have to return tomorrow for another shot of antibiotics (my tired brain doesn't remember why). He seems to be doing a lot better now and the fever is gone, which I'm extremely grateful for. Luckily, he didn't get sick two weeks ago because if that were the case they would have had to admit him to the hospital.

The reason it took so long at the ER is that they're shipping in plane-loads of badly injured kids from Haiti for treatment.
