First Illness
William had his first real illness this week. It has been a terrifyingly long sleepless week in the McMorran house. William began to run a fever on Sunday which quickly shot to 105.1 but had no other symptoms of being sick. Monday morning we went straight to the doctor. The poor guy was poked and prodded but nothing was found. Monday night his fever again rose to 104.8…Then Tuesday, William would simply not stop screaming. The nurse advised us to go to the ER. At the ER, William was poked some more, had x-rays taken, and was given an IV for dehydration. We called William’s IV his robot arm. Still no answers other than maybe he had a viral infection. William’s fever finally broke on Wednesday and he slept most of the day. But again, when he wasn’t sleeping he was crying. Today (Thursday), he developed a rash from head to toe and we headed back to the Dr…the Dr. believes that William has Roseola Virus and all should be well by the weekend. We will keep our fingers crossed. But we thank God that William is alright. I’m sure this was just the first of many bugs and ER visits to come!
Fire Chief William Continued...
On our way home from the park on Saturday we watched the Mesa Firemen wash their truck. Fireman Pat offered to make William an honorary Fire Chief. William was allowed to sit in the driver’s seat of the truck, to push buttons, and to watch the truck light up. It was so much fun…too bad he was too tired to really enjoy it (the serious face in the photos).
And while we were at the Art Festival, William got to meet our Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Sheriff Joe is a local celebrity known for making inmates live in “tent city”, wear prison stripes, and pink undies. Mike had a pair of boxers signed by Sheriff Joe as a souvenir of sorts --- well it was funny at the time.
It was a really fun weekend for us all.
Fire Chief William
This past weekend was a busy one for our Mr. William. His grandparents came from California and were able to spend four whole days with us. We had a great time with them. Grampa took William to Bass Pro Shop to see the fishies and ride the boats, off road vehicles, and to play in tents. We spent time at the park, went to the Fountain Hills Art Festival with Uncle Dabid and Jill, and had an evening along with Gramma and Grampa. It was a great time!
