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!

Poor Guy! I feel for you and Mike! I will pray that he gets better soon! Hopefully now that they know what it is, they can monitor it, so it doesn't get worse! Poor Guy :(
What a trooper with his robot arm! At least you sort of have a diagnosis and a timeframe for when he should be all better. Rashes and fevers are so mysterious sometimes. It's the guessing and poking and prodding that is so nervewracking for us parents! Hugs!
