"Hey This is Colby, I didn't know it was HIM!"
Well, guess what, we went back. Yup that's right we had to go BACK to Mott again yesterday. Everything is fine but yesterday Colby spiked a fever of about 102 and we called our pediatrician to let them know as he was kind of lethargic and really warm. In the meantime we gave him tylenol and he started to cool down and get his normal demeanor back. Well the doc called back and said being that he was intubated for his MRI he could have aspirated and could be getting pneumonia and we needed to get him checked out. He also had spit up some green stuff earlier in the day, just a bit but we did notice it. Had the pediatrician been open we just would have gone in to the office. But of course they were closed. SOOOO off to UofM we went at about 5pm. We just went to the ER and ended up being there for about 4 hours. When we got there he of course had no temp, but at one point it did shoot up to 103. They checked him over, irrigated his waxy little ears so they could actually look in them, checked his urine for any infections via a catheter (poor guy) and then gave him a chest x-ray which ended up being clean. We questioned the x-ray thru the resident, onto the fellow and then to the attending, as he's had so much radiation in his little life already but finally agreed to do it as the attending said we really should. All of that and really nothing came about. They said he has some flu-like symptoms but nothing they can really do. He is a candidate for TamaFlu but for babies it just ends up giving them worse symptoms so they like to hold off giving that to them if they can. His demeanor throughout this whole episode was pretty much his normal self so that was good. He was talking and smiling etc. We got recognized twice by the registration person and the attending on our visit and that is just not good! I mean come on ... this is getting borderline ridiculous! :)

Randy and I found your blog. Glad to hear that Colby is doing good. I couldn't help but laugh that everyone recognized you. We had been away from the hospital for 3 months and the bagel lady at Einstein's remembered us!
Hey Guys!
So glad to hear from you, we found Mason's site the other day too. Great job with that. We were gonna send an email/sign the guestbook just hadn't yet. Hope you guys are all hanging in there. We're thinking about you all. OMG, it was crazy, being recognized. That's too funny about the bagel lady. I see people in the commercials and websites for U of M health that I know now.
